What do hydrocarbon and substitued hydrocarbon have in common?

Hydrocarbons are basically the same thing. A hydrocarbon and a substituted hydrocarbon are similar because they are both sudo-noble gases(each carbon has 8 valence electrons and the rest have a full set of valence electrons). To help you better understand: A substituted hydrocarbon is just a hydrocarbon with at least one of the hydrogens replaced with one of the halogens-(Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine). When looking at a structural picture the easiest way to tell the hydrocarbons apart from the substitutes is a substitute will always have at least one double or triple bonds between the carbons. Hope this helps!
