Question

Define:
a. Glycosidic linkage
b. plasticizer
c. aromaticity
d. homologous series​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Glycosidic linkage

A glycosidic bond or glycosidic linkage is a type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate. A glycosidic bond is formed between the hemiacetal or hemiketal group of a saccharide and the hydroxyl group of some compound such as an alcohol

2.plasticizer:

a substance (typically a solvent) added to a synthetic resin to produce or promote plasticity and flexibility and to reduce brittleness.

3.aromaticity:

the property in an organic compound of being aromatic.

"the observed variation of aromaticity is much smaller"

4.homologous series:

In organic chemistry, a homologous series is a sequence of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical properties in which the members of the series can be branched or unbranched,
