dec-
hydrocarbon with only single bonds, saturated hydrocarbons
Alkane(s)
C(n)H(2n+2)
Alkane(s)
Contains one or more rings
cyclic hydrocarbon(s)
Alkanes with the same number of C atoms, but different skeletons
constitutional (or structural) isomers
molecules with the same arrangement of atoms, but different orientation of groups in space
stereoisomers
two objects that are mirror images of one another and cannot be superimposed
optical isomers
something that describes an asymmetric molecule
chiral
these contain at least one CC double bond, are unsaturated hydrocarbons
alkene(s)
general formula of C(n)H(2n)
alkene(s)
These have different orientation of groups around a double bond (or similar feature)
Geometric isomers
hydrocarbon with at least 1 CC triple bond
Alkynes
general formula of C(n)H(2n-2)
Alkynes
cyclic molecules with delocalized electrons
Aromatic Hydrocarbons
