Unique nature of carbon: tetravalency and catenation; single, double and triple bonds
Straight-chain, branched-chain and cyclic compounds (benzene structure only)
Structural formulae of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes up to five carbon atoms
Structural isomerism: chain and position isomers
Homologous series: characteristics; alkanes, alkenes and alkynes; gradation of properties with molecular mass
Nomenclature: trivial and IUPAC names of compounds with one functional group (halide, alkene, alkyne, alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ether, ester)
