Homologous series || chapter -4 Carbon and it's compounds

Carbon & its compound

Carbon dioxide is a compound.

Why are homologous series of carbon compounds so called? Write chemical formula of two consecutive members of a homologous series and state the part of these compounds that determines their (i) physical properties, and (ii) chemical properties.

What are homologous series of carbon compounds ? Write the molecular formula of two consecuative members of homologous series of aldehydes. State which part of these compounds determines their (i) physical and (ii) chemical properties.

The general formula of a homologous series of carbon compounds is C_n H_(2n+1) OH . Write the molecular formula of the fourth and the fifth members of the series.

Draw formulas for the first five members of each homologous series beginning with the following compounds : CH_3 COCH_3

Draw formulas for the first five members of each homologous series beginning with the following compounds : H-COOH

Percentage carbon in compound A is:

Draw the formulae for the first five numbers of each homologous series beginnig with the following compounds: a. H - COOH b. CH_(3) COCH_(3) c. H - CH = CH_(2)

Assertion :- Oxidation number of Carbon in all it's compounds is +4 . Reason :- An element has a fixed oxidation state.
