  • Isomers are hydrocarbons that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.
  • The Homologous Series is a 'family' of organic compounds that have the same functional group and similar chemical properties.
  • The general formula for the alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.
  • Hydrocarbon is a compound that contains hydrogen and carbon only.
  • A saturated hydrocarbon contains no carbon-to-carbon double bonds, only single bonds.
