Homologous series

Javeria and Ayesha are comparing different members of a homologous series in their chemistry class. They notice that all members in a homologous series have the same _______.

• chemical properties

• physical properties

• molecular weight

• boiling point

Mahlaqa and Irum are learning about organic chemistry. They are curious about how Alcohols are named. What are Alcohols named as?

• Alcohols are named based on the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain and the functional group present, typically using the suffix '-ol'.

• Alcohols are named using the prefix 'hydroxy-' followed by the name of the alkane chain.

• Alcohols are named by counting the number of hydroxyl groups and using the prefix 'poly-'.

• Alcohols are named based on their boiling points and molecular weight.

Hayfa and Isra are discussing the structure of ethers in their chemistry class. What is the structure of ethers?

• A) Oxygen is sandwiched between two carbons

• B) Oxygen is bonded to a single carbon

• C) Oxygen is bonded to two hydrogens

• D) Oxygen is not bonded to any carbon

Match the following chemical structures with their corresponding alkyl group names:

• Isopropyl

• H₃C-CH₂-CH₂−

• Ethyl

• CH₃-CH₂−

• Methyl

• CH₃−

• Propyl

• H₃C-CH-CH₃ (with CH₃ attached to the middle carbon)

Ayesha and Irum are discussing different types of hydrocarbons. Ayesha asks, "What are unsaturated hydrocarbons?"

• Hydrocarbons with at least one double or triple bond

• Hydrocarbons with only single bonds

• Hydrocarbons with aromatic rings

• Hydrocarbons with no carbon-carbon bonds
