Functional Group: an atom/a group of atoms that determines the chemical properties of a compound.
e.g. functional group of alcohols is -OH, alkenes is C=C (double bond)
Homologous Series:
- same general formula
- similar chemical properties because they have the same functional group.
- a trend in physical properties
Isomers: molecules with the same molecular formula but with a different displayed formula.
