Živojin Jocić is a chemistry topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Živojin Jocić rather than just read about it. In short: Živojin Jocić (6 October 1870 in Paraćin – 23 January 1914 in Belgrade) was a Serbian organic chemist. Jocić studied chemistry at the University of Petrograd in Imperial Russia.

Key takeaways

Živojin Jocić belongs to chemistry; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Živojin Jocić to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Živojin Jocić from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Živojin Jocić (6 October 1870 in Paraćin – 23 January 1914 in Belgrade) was a Serbian organic chemist. Jocić studied chemistry at the University of Petrograd in Imperial Russia. After his graduation in 1898, he stayed at the university and worked as an assistant. His teacher was Alexey Favorsky. In a relatively short time – between 1897 and 1911 – he published a large number of papers in organic chemistry, for the most part dealing with the synthesis of acetylene hydrocarbons and synthesis by means of Grignard reagent. He discovered the Jocic reaction, which involves nucleophilic displacement of the hydroxyl group in a 1,1,1-trichloro-2-hydroxyalkyl structure with concomitant conversion of the trichloromethyl portion to a carboxylic acid or similar functional group.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Živojin Jocić

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Živojin Jocić claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Živojin Jocić before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Živojin Jocić ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Živojin Jocić

In research: Živojin Jocić appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Živojin Jocić in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Živojin Jocić is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1870 births, 1914 deaths, Organic chemists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Živojin Jocić outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
