Question: 1
Answer: 1
1-31A group of a organic compounds having the same function group and in which neighboring members differ from each other in molecular formula by a Ch2 group is called homologous series.
Characteristics:
Organic compounds of the
same homologous series have the following common properties. All members of a
series have the same functional group. All members of a series can be
represented by a general formula of alkanes,alkanes and alkanes are:
Cn H2n+2,CnH2n,and
CnH2n-2
Homologous series:
A group of an organic compounds having the same
functional group and in which neighbouring members differ from each other in molecular formula by a CH2 group is
called homologous series.
Characteristics:
Organic compounds the same homologous series have the same functional group.
All members of series can be
represented by a general formula of
alkanes,alkanes and alkanes are:
CnH2n+2,
CNh2n,and CnH2n-2
Successive members of the series always differ by CH2 group and in molecular mass by 14.
All members of the series show similar chemical properties because they contain the same functional group.
The physical properties of the members of series change gradually with increasing molecular masses.
Thus M.P, B.P and density usually increase with increase in molecular mass.
All members can be prepared by similar general methods.
