3.1 explain the terms homologous series, hydrocarbon, saturated, unsaturated, general formula and isomerism.
Organic chemistry introduction
homologous series: a series of organic compounds that have the same general formula, similar chemical reactions and where each member differ from the next by a given formula.
hydrocarbon: a compound only containing carbon and hydrogen
saturated: an organic compound in which all the bonds are single bonds
unsaturated: an organic compound that contains a carbon- carbon double bond
general formula: a formula that states the ratio of atoms of each element in the formula of every compound in a particular homologous series
isomerism: compounds that have the same molecular formula but different formulae are said to exhibit isomerism, the different compounds are called isomers
