Organic Chemistry Topic 10
Uniqueness of carbon Up to 4 bonds with other atoms Single, double and triple bonds Stable covalent bonds C-C or C-H Can form chains and rings Octet cannot expand so not as reactive
Describe the features of an homologous series Organic means carbon based compounds Alkanes C, H all single bonds CnH2n+2 Alcohols have OH group bonded to C CnH2n+1OH
Features of an homologous series Same functional group Same general formula Successive members add CH2 Gradation of physical properties Similar chemical properties Question 1 and 2
Longer chains are stickier and have higher boiling points (bp) Question 3

Trends in physical properties Volatility (how easily evaporated) Smaller less sticky Branched less sticky Animation 1 Functional polar groups more sticky less volatile alkane>halogenoalkane >aldehyde >ketone >alcohol >acid
Solubility in water More polar more soluble Alcohol, aldehyde, ketone and acid are all soluble
