isomers, empirical formula, etc.
saturated hydrocarbon
all single bonds (alkanes)
unsaturated hydrocarbon
double and triple bonds (alkenes, alkynes)
empirical formula
simplest whole # ratio of all atoms in a compound
Ex. C2H6 —> CH3
isomer
different compounds that have the same structural formula, isomers have different physical properties from each other
Ex.C4H10 = butane AND 2-methylpropane
homologous series
a group of compounds with similar chemical properties, and adjacent members differ by multiples of CH2
i.e. (ethane, propane, butane)
i.e. (ethene, propene, but-1-ene)
