They are structure, physical properties, typical chemical properties, synthesis methods and application. From that the authors have built the scheme to design exercises. On that basis, the authors compiled some exercises which are used for teaching and learning organic chemistry in university and high school. http://pubs.sciepub.com/wjce/5/2/1/wjce-5-2-1.pdf designing exercise structural formula organic compound experimental data teaching and learning organic chemistry mechanisms of reactions
