Question

5. Why homologous series of carbon compounds are so called? Write chemical formula of two consecutive
members of a homologous series and state the part of these compounds that determines their (i) physical
properties and (ii) chemical properties.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Receptors are present in our all parts of the body for example in skin, eye, nose tongue etc. They detect the signals and then send them to brain in the form of electrical signals. Receptors can become dysfunctional temporarily or sometimes permanently depending upon the level of exposure to a certain stimulus.Apr 5, 2016

Answer 2

The same functional group dictates the properties of the compounds regardless of the length of the carbon chain.

This is the reason they are known as homologous series of carbon compounds.

The two consecutive members are CH3OH and C2H5OH

They belong to the group alcohol.

CH3-Determines physical properties

OH-Determines chemical properties

C2H5-determines physical properties

OH- Determines chemical properties

hope u understand the answer now^^
