Organic Chemistry Basics
(a) Define the term 'homologous series'.
(b) State two characteristics that members of the same homologous series share, other than having the same general formula.

Isomerism is a key concept in organic chemistry.
(a) Draw and name two structural isomers of butane, \(C_{4}H_{10}\).
(b) Explain why the boiling point of the branched isomer is lower than that of the straight-chain isomer.
