Answer 12

1. Hydrocarbon

2. Single bonds

Question 13

Alkenes are __________.
All contain Carbon Carbon __________.
The Carbon = Carbon bond is their ____________.

Answer 13

1. Hydrocarbons
2. Double bonds
3. Functional group

Question 14

Alcohols are NOT __________.
They are like alkanes but with ________ group.
__________ is their functional group.

Answer 14

1. Hydrocarbons
2. OH
3. OH

Question 15

Carboxylic acid are NOT _________.
All carboxylate acid contain ________ group.
_________ is their functional group.

Answer 15

1. Hydrocarbons
2. COOH
3. COOH

Question 16

What is a Functional group?

Answer 16

Is a part of a molecule that largerly dictates how the molecule acts/will act.
Ex. All alkenes have the functional group C=C so they act the same.

Question 17

What is a homologous series?

Answer 17

Each family has its own homologous series which every compound in it fits. They have similar properties that change as the chains of carbon get longer. 
Ex. As the chain gets longer in Alkanes
- melting and boiling points raise
- viscosity increases
-flammability decreases
