isomers are ions or molecules with identical formulas but distinct structures. Discussed is structural isomerism and stereoisomerism.

An overview of the reactions of alkenes, Markovnikov's rule, regioselectivity, and different reaction mechanisms.

An in depth review of the structure and properties of alkynes, nomenclature, and drawing structure.

An overview of delocalized electrons and how they contribute to resonance. Benzene is used as the example.

An overview of substitution and elimination reactions, including SN1/SN2 and E1/E2.

A basic review of CHEM 121 and 122 which will be useful knowledge for this course.
