Kerosine
________ (paraffin): fuel for aircraft engines.
Homologous series
Family of organic compounds with similar chemical properties.
Compounds
________ that contain carbon and hydrogen only are called hydrocarbons.
The general characteristics of the homologous series are
same functional group, similar chemical properties, and gradual change in physical properties
Names of organic compounds are divided into two parts
a prefix that tells the total number of carbon atoms in the compound, and the suffix that names the homologous series of the compound
Suffixes
-ane (alkane), -ene (alkene), -ol (alcohol), -oic acid (carboxylic acid)
