Is a
compound
which contains
only carbon and hydrogen atoms
Alkanes and Alkenes are two homologous series of hydrocarbons
Alkenes
Double bonded
/ Unsaturated
Alkanes
Single bonded
/ Saturated
Compounds
with the
same molecular formula
but with
different structural formula
are
called isomers
Steps to name an isomer:
look at the alkyl side chain
count the number of the carbon atoms from one end of the carbon chain. Count from the end the gives the lowest number
Find the longest carbon chain
