With which homologous series does cyclohexane share its general formula?
arene
What are the main homologous series for organic compounds?
All the families of organic compounds exist as a homologous series (A series having a difference of 'CH2' unit between two consecutive members) the main homologous series-es are Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols and Carboxylic acids (Fatty acids).
What is homologous characteristics?
a homogulous series is a series of hydrocabrons which have the same type of bonds. i.e. are grouped by either single, double, or triple bonds, and thus follow a generic formula for how many Hydrogens to a number of carbons
Which set of structures are homologous?
A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
Why does viscosity increase up homologous series?
FIRSTLY THE VISCOSITY IS "the state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency, due to internal friction."THE VISCOSITY INCREASES UP THE HOMOLOGOUS SERIES BECAUSE IT IS STICKY DUE TO FRICTION- Alodia Gosiengfiao
With which homologous series does cyclohexane share its general formula?
arene
What Homologous series?
A homologous series is a family of organic compounds that: *have the same general formula. *have similar chemical properties and *show a gradual increase in physical properties such as melting and boiling point.
Why do these substance all belong to the same homologous series?
Chemical compounds (organic) placed in a homologous series have a general chemical formula. The common example is alkenes.
The first four members of the almanac homologous series are :The general formula for this homologous series is A CnH2n-2OB CnH2nOC CnH2n+1OD CnH2n+2O?
D CnH2n+2O
Name the homologous series to which propene belongs?
Ester
Chracteristics of homologous series?
1. They have the same general formula 2. They have similar chemical properties 3. They show a gradual change in their physical properties.
What is homologous series in chemistry?
This is part of organic chemistry. Homologous Series: is a series of compounds with the SAME GENERAL FORMULA, SIMILAR CHEMICAL PROPERTIES, and a GRADUATION IN PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, where each member differs from the previous member by a CH2 group. For example: ALKANES: General formula is C(n)H(2n+2) eg. C2H6 or C3H8 or C4H10. All of these are saturated molecules, so they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms per molecule, ie. all bonds are single and there are no unused electron pairs. This means that these will not be able to undergo addition reactions because there are no free electron pairs to bond to. Therefore, alkanes have SIMILAR CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. Also, no alkane is polar. Alkanes have a GRADUATION IN PHYSICAL PROPERTIES because as there are more CH2 groups, the molecule's mass and size increases, hence the strength of the acting intermolecular forces, the Van der Waal's forces is increasing therefore the bigger the molecule, the stronger the intermolecular forces, therefore the higher the boiling point.
What is series?
Homologous series, in chemistry can be defined as a series of organic compounds with a similar general formula, possessing similar chemical properties due to the presence of the same functional group, and shows a gradation in physical properties as a result of increase in molecular size and mass
What is the chemical formula of Methane?
Using the homologous series "Ethane's" the general formula is CnH2n+2 Therefore the formula for Methane is "CH4" As it goes Methane =1 Ethane =2 Propane =3 Butane =4 Pentane =5 (Up to 5)
What is Alkanols?
an alcohol an alcohol belonging to the alkanol homologous series that is made up of Carbon atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms. the general molecular formula is Cn H2n+1 O H
Why alkynes are called acetylenes?
alkynes are those hydrocabons wich have triple co alent bond among carbon atoms . The first member of alkyne series is known as acetylene.This is the sim;lest alkyne ,with molecular formula( C2H2).Alkynes are also called acetylenes because of the name of the first member of the series is actylene.

Why are homologous series of carbon compound so called?
They are said to be homologous because they have similar structures.
