The three major types of organic reactions are addition, substitution, and elimination.  You are to be able to identify a reaction as one of these types, and to predict products of these reactions.  There are examples in your text, p.24-26.
Stereoisomers differ from skeletal isomers.  They form because carbons cannot rotate around the double bond in an alkene.  To have cis and trans stereoisomers, each carbon in a double bond must have two different groups attached to it.
Homework:  p.27 #1abd, 3;  p.31 #2, 3bce;  small handout with stereoisomer questions
