Organic compounds are the compounds of carbon and organic chemistry is the
study of carbon compounds, excluding oxides of carbon, metallic carbonates
and related compounds like metal cyanides, metal carbides. ·

Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are compounds that are made up only of carbon and hydrogen
atoms.
Hydrocarbons are sub-divided into two main groups, the aliphatic (open) and
cyclic (closed) chain. The open chain compounds or aliphatic compounds are
further sub-divided into saturated compounds and unsaturated compounds
Saturated compounds
It is a saturated hydrocarbon, as all the four valencies of carbon are satisfied by
a single covalent bond.
Unsaturated Compounds
The hydrocarbons that have double or triple covalent bonds between two
adjacent carbon atoms are called unsaturated hydrocarbons. These
unsaturated compounds are further classified as Alkenes which are the
hydrocarbons with double bond and Alkynes which are the hydrocarbons with
triple bond between two carbon atoms
ii) Aromatic compounds : Some hydro- carbons contain at least one benzene
ring in their molecules. The benzene ring is a specific type of ring structure of
six carbon (Atoms having carbon- carbon single and carbon-carbon double
bonds in alternate positions

Homologous series
A homologous series is a group of organic compounds having a similar
structure and similar chemical properties in which the successive compounds
differ by a CH2 group.
