- Aldehyde
- Ketone
- Alcohol
- Amine

What is a stereoisomer?
A molecule with identical molecular formula and Atom-to-Atom connectivity but have a different arrangement in space.
What is a Chiral center?
Where a carbon atom is connected to 4 different groups of atoms. It indicates a molecule is optically active.
What is the difference between optical and geometric isomers?
Optical isomers/Enantiomers have a chiral center, cannot be super imposed of their mirror image and rotate PPL (plane polarised light) where as Geometric isomers contain a double bond and do not rotate PPL
What makes the Viscosity of a hydrocarbon increase?
longer carbon chains.
Larger intermolecular forces.
increased branches.
What makes Flashpoint for organic molecules increase?
Smaller hydrocarbons.
