Organic Compounds
General formula : an algebraic formula that can describe any member
of a family of compounds (e g . .

Structural formula :
shows the arrangement of atoms carbon by carbon

Homologous Series : a group of compounds that can all be represented
by the same general formula
Molecules in a momologous series contain the same functional group
