What Cambridge says you should be able to do, in our words. Codes are the topic number plus the objective’s position.
Understand that the compounds in the A Level functional-group table (syllabus page 47) contain a functional group that dictates their physical and chemical properties.
The table lists each homologous series with its functional group and a named example: arene (arene; benzene); halogenoarene (halogen; chlorobenzene when X = Cl); phenol (phenol; phenol); acyl chloride (acyl chloride; propanoyl chloride); amines, secondary and tertiary (amine; naming of secondary and tertiary amines is not required); amide, primary, secondary and tertiary (amide; propanamide); amino acid (amine and carboxyl; 2-aminoethanoic acid).

Interpret and use the general, structural, displayed and skeletal formulas of the classes of compound stated in the A Level functional-group table (syllabus page 47).
Classes: arenes, halogenoarenes, phenols, acyl chlorides, secondary and tertiary amines, amides and amino acids. Where a benzene ring is part of the molecule, a displayed formula would not be expected to be drawn.

Understand and use systematic nomenclature of simple aliphatic organic molecules (including cyclic compounds containing a single ring of up to six carbon atoms) with the functional groups in the A Level functional-group table (syllabus page 47), up to six carbon atoms (six plus six for esters and amides; straight chains only for esters and nitriles).

Understand and use systematic nomenclature of simple aromatic molecules with one benzene ring and one or more simple substituents, for example 3-nitrobenzoic acid or 2,4,6-tribromophenol.
