the rich get richer - the c-atom in the double bond with the most hH-atoms already bonded will get another H-atom
addition reactions
the poor get poorer, c atom with fewest h-atoms will lose another
elimination reactions
anol, hydroxy, hydroxyl
to differentiate between 1,2,3 alcohols
When the molecule gets larger

Aldehydes reduce the silver ions to metallic silver, ketones cannot
colourless to metallic silver
oxidises it into a carboxylic acid
deep blue to brick red ppt

reaction occurs at reactants boiling point, vaporation returns to reaction vessel
vapor is condensed into liquid
Turns it blue
