                1. Alkanes
                  1. alkanes in a carbon ring are given the prefix cyclo-
                    1. Single bonds

                          2. Stereoisomerism
                            1. Two or more compounds have the same structural formula, but differ in the arrangement of bonds in space
                              1. E-Z isomerism
                                1. When each double bonded carbon has two different atoms or groups attached to it
                                  1. You can't rotate a double bond
                                    1. E = apart
                                      1. Z = together
                                      2. Optical isomerism
                                      3. Structural isomerism
                                        1. Have different functional groups
                                          1. The functional groups are attached to the main chain at different points
                                            1. They have a different arrangement of carbon atoms in the skeleton of the molecule
