- Alkynes contain at least one triple bond (unsaturated hydrocarbons).
-
Functional Groups are specific arrangements of atoms within a molecule that determine its chemical reactivity and properties.
- Alcohols contain a hydroxyl group (-OH).
- Ketones have a carbonyl group (=O) bonded to two carbon atoms.
- Aldehydes have a carbonyl group (=O) bonded to one carbon atom and one hydrogen atom.
- Carboxylic acids contain a carboxyl group (-COOH).
- Esters have a carbonyl group (=O) bonded to an oxygen atom.
-
Isomerism refers to molecules with the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
- Structural isomers have different connections between atoms.
- Stereoisomers have the same connections but different spatial arrangements.
-
Reaction Types in organic chemistry include:

Electromagnetism
- Electromagnetism is the branch of physics that studies the interaction between electric and magnetic fields.
-
Electric Charge is a fundamental property of matter, occurring in positive and negative forms.
- Coulomb's Law quantifies the force between two charged objects, stating that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
-
Electric Fields are regions around charged objects where other charged objects experience a force.
- Electric field lines represent the direction of the force on a positive test charge.

Magnetic Fields are generated by moving charges, creating a region where magnetic forces are experienced.
- The right-hand rule helps determine the direction of the magnetic field surrounding a current-carrying wire.
-
Electromagnetic Induction is the phenomenon where a changing magnetic field induces an electric field.
- Faraday's Law describes the induced voltage as proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux.
- Lenz's Law states that the induced current creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the original magnetic field.
