What is the homogolous series? |
A family of organic compounds with one functional group, but different carbon chain length |
|
|
What are the common features of the Homologous series? |
•Have the same general formula • Each member is different from the next by CH3 •Chain length effects physical appearences e.g. melting points and boiling points |

What are isomers? |
Molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structural formula |
|
|
What is chain isomerism? |
When hydrocarbon chain is arranged differently e.g. CH3 moved |
|
|
What is positional isomerism? |
Location of key groups that can vary from structure e.g. Cl moved |
|
|
What is functional group isomerism? |
A given molecular formula can be formed into compound with a completely different functional group e.g. kentones to aldehydes |
|
|
What is stereoisomerism? |
Where 2 or more compounds have some structural formula but differ in arrangement |
|
|
What is E-Z Isomerism? |
Tells about the position of substiueunts at either sides of C=C E= opposite sides of bond Z= same side of the bond |
|
|
What is a functional group? |
A specific atom or group of atoms which confer certain physical and chemical properties onto molecules |
