Name the homologous series to which propene belongs?
Ester
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.
Is The density of a substance is the same for all samples of the substance?
Not necessarily. The temperature of the samples would have to be the same. It can also vary with how pure the substance is.
What is an attraction between particles of the same substance called?
An attraction between particles of the SAME substance is called cohesion.
A pure substance is the what throughout?
A pure substance is the same throughout. When a substance is 100% something it is pure.
Which compound is a member of the same homologous series as C3H8?
CH4
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.
Which pair contains two molecules from the same homologous series of hydrocarbons?
C2h4, c3h6, c4h8
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
What are homologous chromosomes and what characteristics do 2 homologous chromosomes share?
Homologous chromosomes have the same shape, size and position of the centromere. They have the same genes in the same order.
Are homozygous and homologous the same?
Homologous: pair of chromosomes that are the same Homozygous: alleles of a gene pair are the same
What are chromosomes that are of the same size and function and the centromere is at the same location yet are not homologous?
Chromosomes of the same size and functions and with the centromere located at the same location are called homologous chromosomes. What if they are not homologous?
What is the definition of homologous?
Homologous means similar to but not the same thing, as a squirrel's foreleg is homologous to a human's arm.
What series of rulers who belong to the same family is called a?
Dynasty
What are chromosomes that have the same length and carry genes for the same traits?
I believe you are talking about homologous chromosomes- they have the same sequence of genes and same structure.
A sentence that uses homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes have the same sequence as a homologous.
What are the homologous chromosomes and where does the an individual receive homologous chromosomes from?
Two chromosomes are homologous if they have the same genes at the same loci (position). In a homologous pair, there is one chromosome from the mother (maternal) and one from the father (paternal).
