+
- 4 valence pairs
- single / double / triple bonds
- cyclic (ring) structures
- Indicate number of branches with di-, tri- etc.
- Longest unbranched carbon chain includes function group

+## Isomers
+
+* **Structural isomers** - same molecular formula, different arrangement
+* **Stereoisomers** - same structural configuration, different orientation
+ * **Opotical isomers** - chiral centre, 4 groups bonded to C, non-superimposable mirror image
+ * **Geometric isomers** - \ce{C=C} double bond, 2 groups bonded to carbon atoms
+ + **Cis** - same horizontal plane
+ + **Trans** - diagonal

+## Reactions
+
+**Cracking** - split moluecules with heat/pressure/catalyst
+
+### Alkanes
+
+- Relatively inert
+- Non-polar solvent
+- Non-soluble in \ce{H2O}
+- Combusts in \ce{O2} (forms \ce{CO2 + H2O})
+- Reacts with halogens (**substitution** of \ce{H})
+
+### Alkenes
+
+- More reactive than alkanes
+- **Addition reactions**: \ce{C=C} bond is broken (energy released)
+- **Addition polymerisation**
+
+### Alcohols
+
+- Can be formed from haloalkane substitution reaction
+- **Oxidation** (combustion)
+- Oxidation state $\propto$ no. of atoms connected to \ce{C}
+- **Substitution** of functional group, e.g. \ce{ROH + NH3 -> RNH2 + H2O}
+- Primary alcohols oxidise to aldehydes then carboxylic acids
+- Secondary alcohols oxidise to ketones
+
+### Carboxylic acids
+
+- Weak acids
+- **Hydrolysis**: \ce{RCOOH + H2O <=> RCOO^{-} + H2O^{+}}
+- Rxn with amines - carboxylic acid + amine $\rightarrow$ ammonium salt $\rightarrow$ amide + water
+
+### Esterification
+
+- **Condensation reactions** (esterification): \ce{RCOOH + R^{$\prime$}OH -> RCOOR^{$\prime$} + H2O}
+- This is reversed by **hydrolysis**: ester + water $\rightarrow$ carboxylic acid + alcohol
+- Polyesters
