Effectiveness of imochem (augmented reality mobile application for organic chemical mechanisms): a preliminary study

Organic chemistry is considered a complicated science subject in chemistry, especially when it involves the mechanism. The importance of this topic in the foundation study is to understand the basics of reaction and how chemical reactions react through mechanism. It has long been a belief in science...
