7.0 Investigates the variety of organic compounds.

7.1 Investigates the importance of organic chemistry as a special field of chemistry

States that there is a large number of natural and synthetic compounds containing carbon as the main constituent element.

Explains giving the relevant facts the ability of carbon to form a large number of compounds.

Shows the importance of organic chemistry in daily life by giving examples from various fields.

7.2 Investigates the variety of organic compounds in terms of the functional groups.

Identifies the names and symbols of functional groups that are included in the syllabus.

Identifies the variety of organic compounds in terms of the functional groups present.

Names the homologous series of compounds containing each of the functional groups and presents examples.

7.3 Names simple aliphatic organic compounds.

States the trivial names of the common organic compounds and recognizes the need for a standard nomenclature.

Names the given organic compounds which are structurally within the limit stated in the syllabus, using the IUPAC rules.

Draws the structural formula of a compound when the IUPAC name is stated.

7.4 Investigates the different possible arrangements of atoms in molecules having the same molecular formula.

Draws all the possible structural formulae for a given molecular formula.

Classifies the given structures for given structures for given molecular formulae as chain , position, and functional group isomers.

States the requirements to be satisfied to exhibit geometrical and optical isomerism.

select the geometrical and optical isomers drawn for the molecular formula which has been given.
