reaction help?

Question

i find very difficult to remember chemistry reactions.In my books,there are thousands of reaction.i find very difficult to remember them.Please tell me any easy way to remeber this reaction correctly for a long time.

Answer 1

The only way I know is to actually memorize the reaction mechanism (functional groups and type of mechanism ie: single electron transfer, two electrons (organic's favorite), lewis base... It takes a lot of work but once you're familiar with a few reactions you'll find it easier to remember balanced equations describing reactions.
