Carbon forms more compounds than all the other elements put together, from the methane in a gas stove to the DNA in your cells. Organic chemistry is the study of these compounds. In this chapter you learn how to draw and name them, how isomers with the same formula differ, how electrons shift inside a molecule and decide how it reacts, and how a chemist separates a pure substance and finds what it contains. Python names alkanes and counts isomers.

Classification, Nomenclature and Isomerism
The shapes of carbon compounds and the ways to draw them. Classification, functional groups and homologous series, the IUPAC rules for naming, and the kinds of structural and spatial isomerism.
Electronic Effects and Reaction Intermediates
How bonds break, and the free radicals, carbocations and carbanions that result. The inductive effect, resonance, the electromeric effect and hyperconjugation, and the types of organic reaction.
