Hydrocarbon formulas: CnH2n+2 saturated; CnH2n has one double bond or one ring
Saturated hydrocarbons have isomers for n = 4 and above
Draw isomers for n = 5, 6 etc. both saturated and unsaturated
Geometric isomers: different arrangements about double bonds
Optical isomers: non-identical with mirror image; opposite effects on plane-polarized light
Learn functional groups: OH alcohol; COOH carboxylic acid; COC - ether; COOC ester; CO in aldehydes and ketones
Learn nitrogenous functional groups RNH amines; CONR amide as found in peptides and proteins
