What is a homologous series?
À homologus séries is a group of chemicals with similar chemical properties and can be represented by a general formula.
What is an isomer?
And Isomer has the same molecular formula but has different structural formula
What is the formula for an alkane?
CnH2n+2
What is the formula for the alkene
CnH2n
