Question

How compounds are classified?​

Answer 1

Answer:

compound are classified as the solid compound liquid compounds and gaseous compound

Answer 2

⠀ ⠀ [Compounds Classification]

Compounds can be classified in different ways.

some of the ways are:

→One way to classify the compounds is to know whether it is Acyclic(Aliphatic) or Carbocylic (Cyclic) compounds.

➩Acyclic compounds are of 3 types:

1. Alkanes(single bond)C-C

2.Alkenes(double bond)C=C

3.Alkynes(triple bond) C≡C

Carbocylic can be Alicyclic or Aromatic:

➩Alicyclic compounds are of 3 types:

1.Cycloalkanes(single bond)C-C

2.Cycloalkenes(double bond) C=C

3.Cycloalkynes(triple bond) C≡C

•carbocyclic or cyclic compounds are named so as it forms a closed figure joined end to end in its structural formula.

→Organic compounds can also be classified on the basis of their functional groups.

The functional group can be defined as an atom or a group of atoms that are joined together in a specific manner which is responsible for the characteristic chemical properties of organic compounds.

For Example: hydroxyl group -OH

Aldehyde group -CHO and

Carboxylic acid group -COOH etc.

→Organic compounds can also be classified on the basis of homologous series.

A group or a series of organic compounds in which each member contains the same characteristic functional group and differs from each other by a fixed unit form a homologous series and therefore its members are known as homologous. The members of the homologous series can be represented by a general formula and the successive members differ from each other in the molecular formula by a CH₂ unit. There are a number of homologous series in organic chemistry such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes etc.
