One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Classification of organic compounds

Classification of organic compounds is the foundational step in organic chemistry, enabling students to identify functional groups, predict reactivity, and choose appropriate synthetic routes. Mastering the categories—alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, amides, and heterocycles—ensures accurate interpretation of exam questions and efficient problem‑solving.
