Question

what is the homologous series of carbon ccompoundsWrite the molecular formula of two conjucative members of homologus series of delihide . State the with part of this compound determines their Physical , Chemical properties

Answer 1

Homologous series ::- In a carbon compound , the series of functional group which substitues the hydrogen atom from the carbon chain is known as homologous series.

The consecutive members of homologous series of aldehyde are::-

Methanal ::- CH2O

Ethanal ::- C2H4O

Propanal ::- C3H6O

The molecular mass (length of carbon chain) determine the physical properties of carbon compounds

The functional group determine the chemical properties of carbon compound.
