The unlabeled set of amino acid side-chains

This set of the twenty amino acid side-chains doesn’t have the names listed.  You can quiz yourself to help you learn the names and predict the chemical properties of these different structures.  Example:  Which are the hydrophilic side-chains?  Which of these might tend to mover away from water and gather together in the same way that oil droplets coalesce into larger oil drops?
