| Term | Definition | Example |
| Homologous series | having the same functional group but differing in composition by a fixed group of atoms | alkane |
| Hydrocarbon | Compound of hydrogen and carbon | Alkenes, alkanes |
| Saturated hydrocarbon | Have single bonds | alkanes |
| Unsaturated hydrocarbon | Have double and/or single bonds | alkenes |
| General formula | Series it shows the relationship between the number of C atoms and H atoms in the compounds | for Alkanes it is CnH2n+2 for alkene it is CnH2 |
| Isomerism | compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties | 2,2dimethylpropane |
