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 are the 3 series in saturated hydrocarbons?
These 3 series of saturated hydrocarbon are: linear alkanes, branched alkanes, cycloalkanes.
How do you form methane gas?
methane is the first (and most simple) of the homologous series known as alkanes. It can be formed many ways of which some are --> i) catalytic cracking --> in this process large alkanes are broken down into smaller simpler alkanes and alkenes (of which methane is one) ii) biogas/manure --> in the process of fermentation or anaerobic digestion of manure, about 50% to 75% of the gas released is Methane gas iii) fractional distillation of crude oil/petroleum --> methane is obtained in the top fraction in the fractional distillation of crude oil or petroleum.
Why does flammability of alkenes decrease?
the flammability of alkanes decreases as the hydrocarbon chains increase in length their evapouration rates decrease as longer chained molecules have higher boling points so temperatures must be high for them to evaporate therefore there is no fumes or vapours for longer chained alkanes at room temp like nonane and so on these hydrocarbons need higher temp to produce vapours n therefore will not burn with just a match
What is a term that describes body parts of different organisms that are similar in form?
Homologous structures (Not to be confused with Homologous pairs)

What gases is Ch4 related to?
Well there is Carbon monoxide, And other types of gases that come out of organisms like for example, Cows, Humans, What goes into trees, All sorts of things. Enjoi :) - Cameron

What is the increment of change in a series of straight chain alkanes?
CH2
Why are homologous series of carbon compound so called?
They are said to be homologous because they have similar structures.
Why does flammability of alkenes decrease?
the flammability of alkanes decreases as the hydrocarbon chains increase in length their evapouration rates decrease as longer chained molecules have higher boling points so temperatures must be high for them to evaporate therefore there is no fumes or vapours for longer chained alkanes at room temp like nonane and so on these hydrocarbons need higher temp to produce vapours n therefore will not burn with just a match
Name the homologous series to which propene belongs?
Ester
What does the word methane mean?
methane is a compound belonging to the homologous series known as Alkanes, containing a single Carbon atom covalently bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, giving us the formula CH4
Which series contains only substances with single covalent bonds?
Alkanes
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.
