write the formula of the members of the homologous series with function group -c=o
Answers
Explanation:
Functional Groups, in the field of organic chemistry, are the substituent atoms or groups of atoms that are attached to specific molecules. These moieties (the part of the molecule which can be found in many other molecules as well) are responsible for the chemical reactions that the molecule they are attached to participate in.
What are Functional Groups?
Functional Groups are a “particular grouping of components in which the distinctive chemical reactions of these molecules are accountable”.
Two molecules of having different sizes but the same functional groups will take part in chemical reactions that are similar or exactly the same. The presence of a functional group in a molecule implies that the behaviour and the chemical reactions of the molecule in question can be predicted in a systematic fashion.
The process of chemical synthesis, in which chemical reactions are intentionally executed in order to obtain a specific compound, can be designed by understanding the properties of various functional groups.
