Substituted Hydrocarbon
A hydrocarbon with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by other atoms
Real World Example
Imagine you're getting ready for a party, but realize your shirt has a stain, so you replace it with a brand-new one. This is similar to a substituted hydrocarbon, where instead of replacing a stained shirt, one or more hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon are replaced by other atoms like chlorine or bromine. Just as swapping your shirt changes your outfit's appearance, substituting atoms changes the chemical's properties, altering how it behaves in reactions or interacts with other substances.
