(Group VII)

-
organic compounds belong to families of similar compounds known as


'homologous series'

of
This is a
family similar compounds with similar chemical properties due to the


presence of same functional Group
<an atom or
group of atoms that determines the chemical


properties of a homologous series




The versatility of carbon !
carbon is non-metal in IV which forms
- a
group
acidic oxides and covalent bonds


Naming organic compounds
- The carbon atom in the chain can be linked
by
single , double or triple covalent bonds
Prefix Suffix
(number ofc ) (name of
homologous Series (




Meth =1 Ane = alkane
Eth=2 Ene= alkene
Anol/ol=alcohol Steps for drawing
Prop=3
Oic acid=carboxylic
But =4
acid
1- Draw the Carbon chain
Pent=5 2-Add functional group
Hex=6
3- Complete by adding H
making sure each carbon atom
forms 4 covalent bonds

A Homologous series shows the following characteristics : same functional group

- same general formula

-
display a trend in
physical properties
- share same chemical properties
