CBSE: Class 10
Definition: Structural Isomers
Compounds with identical molecular formula but different structures are called structural isomers.
CBSE: Class 10
Definition: Hydrocarbons
The carbon compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons.
CBSE: Class 10
Definition: Alkanes
The saturated hydrocarbons are called alkanes.
CBSE: Class 10
Definition: Alkenes
The unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain one or more double bonds are called alkenes.
CBSE: Class 10
Definition: Alkynes
Those containing one or more triple bonds are called alkynes.
CBSE: Class 10
Definition: Functional Groups
The heteroatoms and the group containing these confer specific properties to the compound, regardless of the length and nature of the carbon chain and hence are called functional groups.
