Here is a brief overview of each of our "chapters:"

• Alkanes
  Alkanes are single-chained hydrocarbons. They can be found in cyclic rings or as brances. Alkanes are generally unreactive.
• Alkenes
  Alkenes are hydrocarbons with pi bonding (double bonds). They are more reactive than alkanes.
• Alkynes
  Alkynes are triple bonds (2 pi bonds). They are quite reactive as well.
• Dienes
  Dienes are quite simliar to alkenes, after all, instead of ONE double bond, they have TWO.
• Alcohols
  Alcohols are very important. Not only are they important in dulling the pain of failure, but they also serve as the basis for sugars. And stuff. :)
• Aromatics
  Aromatics are very fun to learn about. Hey, how else will you learn how to synthesize crack cocaine?
• Aldehydes/Ketones
  Aldehydes are -CHO groups, and ketons are R-CO-R groups. Both involve a carbon with a double bond to an oxygen.
• Carboxylic Acids
  Pretty important stuff. The ends of fatty acids have these suckers, which are COOH (carbon double bonded to an oxygen with a hydroxyl group off the carbon)
• Ethers
• Amines
  These contain nitrogen. Fun.
