3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define a homologous series.
Think about what connects all the compounds in the series.
Give an example of a homologous series.
What is a simple group of hydrocarbons?
What defines a homologous series?
Focus on the systematic change in the series.
True or False: Homologous series only apply to alkanes.
Consider other types of hydrocarbons.
If pentane (C₅H₁₂) has a boiling point of 36°C, estimate the boiling points of hexane (C₆H₁₄) and heptane (C₇H₁₆) using the incremental change method discussed in class.
Think about the boiling point increase for each carbon added.
Analyze the structure of 1-Butene and predict its place in the alkene homologous series. How does its functional group impact its chemical properties?
Consider how functional groups define reactivity.
