Enumerate the Unique Nature of Carbon
- Ability to Form Four Strong Covalent Bonds
- Ability to Catenate
- Ability to form multiple bonds
is the ability of atoms in forming stable bonds with itself, hence joining up into chains or rings.
Catenation
is defined as an atom or group of atoms that effectively determines the chemical properties of an organic compound
Functional Group
Propane does not react with ______
Sodium
_________ and _________ react with sodium to give hydrogen gas.
Ethanol and propan-1-ol
is a series of compounds that have the same functional group, and each member differs from the next member by a CH2 unit in their formulae
Homologous Series
Members in the same series can be represented by a ______________
General Formula
Formula of Alkanes
CnH2n+2
Formula of Alkenes
CnH2n
Formula for Alkynes
CnH2n-2
Members of a homologous series have ______ chemical properties
Similar
The physical properties change ________ along the homologous series
Gradually
The longer the carbon chain in the molecule
The greater the attractive force between molecules
The higher the melting point, boiling point and density
MAIN FACTORS AFFECTING THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
- Structure of the Functional Group
- Length of Carbon Chains
