Write the molecular formula of two consecutive members of the homologous series of aldehydes. State which parts of these. Compounds determine their physical and chemical properties.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The consecutive members are `CH_3CHO` (acetaldehyde) and `C_2H_5CHO` (propanaidehyde).
The physical properties depend on the alkyl parts `CH_3` - and `C_2H_5-`.
The chemical properties depend on the -CHO group.
