| Term | Definition | Example |
| Homologous series | A series of organic compounds containing the same general formula and the same chemical properties. | Methane |
| Hydrocarbon | A compound containing hydrogen and carbon | Diesel |
| Saturated hydrocarbon | When carbon to carbon atoms are singly bonded with the hydrogen’s | Alkanes |
| Unsaturated hydrocarbon | When carbon to carbon atoms are double bonded with the hydrogen’s | Alkanes |
| General formula | A formula allowing us to know the number of hydrogen by looking at the number of carbon | CnH2n+2 |
