• constitutional and geometric (cis and trans) isomers
• classification of alcohols and haloalkanes as primary, secondary or tertiary
• solubility, melting and boiling points
• chemical reactions. 

Chemical reactions are limited to:

• addition reactions of alkenes with H2/Pt, Cl2, Br2, H2O/H+ (conc. H2SO4/H2O) and hydrogen halides (including identification of major and minor products on addition to asymmetric alkenes), polymerisation
• substitution reactions of:
  • alkanes with halogens (limited to monosubstitution)
  • alcohols with hydrogen halides, PCl3, PCl5, SOCl2
  • haloalkanes with ammonia and aqueous potassium hydroxide
• oxidation of:
  • primary alcohols to form carboxylic acids with MnO4-/H+ or Cr2O72-/H+
  • alkenes with MnO4–
• elimination of (including identification of major and minor products for asymmetric reactants):
  • water from alcohols
  • hydrogen halides from haloalkanes
• acid–base reactions of carboxylic acids and amines.
