What is organic chemistry?

A

Is the branch of chemistry that studies the structure, properties, reactions and synthesis of carbon-containing compounds, including hydrocarbons and their derivatives

22
Q

What is a saturated hydrocarbon?

A

Contain only single bonds between carbon atoms and saturated with hydrogen atoms

23
Q

What is an unsaturated hydrocarbon?

A

Contain 1 or more double bonds or triple bonds between carbon atoms meaning fewer hydrogen atoms

24
Q

What is an isomer?
