homologous series structures

Homologous Series - All organic compounds are made up of a progressively building chain of carbon atoms with a number of compounds having the same functional groups. Such a series of similarly constituted compounds are called a homologous series. Me..

Homologous Series - A homologous series is a family of organic compounds containing a particular characteristic group and exhibiting similar properties. For example, the compounds given below belong to the alcohol family. CH 3 OH methyl alcohol (methanol) CH ..

The study of organic compounds becomes easier with the knowledge of homologous series. The study of a vast number of organic compounds become restricted to the study of a few series of homologue..

All homologues of a series have the same general formula e.g., all alkanes have the general formula C n H 2 n + 2 . Each consecutive member differs from the next by one carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms (-CH 2 group). The difference in the molecular mass between two consecuti..

DNA is a double stranded molecule (double helix) with each strand being made up of many nucleotide units. Each nucleotide is made up of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule and a phosphoric acid molecule. Each DNA molecule has two such polynucleotide chains joined to each other by hydrogen bonds. ..

Alkynes - Unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain a triple carbon (C C) bond in their molecules are called alkynes. Alkynes were earlier called acetylenes. Alkynes can be described by the formula C n H 2 n - 2 where n is 2,3, The simplest member of this homologous series has the m..

The comparative anatomical studies of various types of organisms show structural and functional differences and similarities between various species. For example, the basic structure of all the flowers is the same with the whorls of calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium. How..
