i am preparing for the exam.

The test consists of 70 multiple-choice questions. You will have exactly two hours to complete the exam . Do the Previous year sample papers.

Lewis structures, molecular orbitals, hybridization
Nomenclature of organic compounds (mostly IUPAC)
Conformations of organic molecules
Stereoisomerism and Chirality
Fischer projections, cis-trans isomers, E/Z isomers, enantiomers, meso compounds,
Diastereomers, absolute configuration (R/S), relative configuration (D/L)
Resonance and Electron Delocalization

Modes of vibration, vibration frequency of common functional groups
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR)
Chemical shift and equivalence, spin-spin splitting
Oxidation and Reduction reactions and reagents
