Homologous series | ||
Hydrocarbon | A compound containing both HYDROGEN and CARBON | any Alkane.. eg. METHANE |
Saturated hydrocarbon | Alkanes, are chemical compounds that consist only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H)wherein these atoms are linked together exclusively by single bonds | Propane |
Unsaturated hydrocarbon | Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that have double or triple covalent bonds between adjacent carbon atoms | Ethine (INE) |
General formula | A formula used to calculate both the amount of CARBON and the amount of HYDROGEN | Cn H 2n+ 2 |
Isomerism | Having the same molecular formula, but a different displayed formula (different structure) | Pentane |
