Question

1)what is an homologous series ? explain with an example ...
2) explain the Nature of the covalent bond using the bond formation in CH³CI . ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Compounds within a homologous series typically have a fixed set of functional groups that gives them similar chemical and physical properties. For example, methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc. are all part of the alkane homologous series. The general formula of this series is CnH2n+2.

2) Here, carbon will complete its octet by sharing electrons and not by gaining or losing electrons which will require more energy and eventually destabilize it. The atoms here will share their valence shell electrons and this bonding is known as covalent bonding.

Answer 2

Answer:

1 ) Compounds within a homologous series typically have a fixed set of functional groups that gives them similar chemical and physical properties. For example, methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc. are all part of the alkane homologous series. The general formula of this series is CnH2n+2.

2 ) Carbon has 4 valence electrons. In order to make octet, it shares each of the four electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms and one chloride atom. Since, bonds are formed because of sharing of electrons, hence these are covalent bonds.
