Introduction

Properties depend only on the functional groups.

Pre-Requisites:

Hydrocarbons, functional groups

Activity:

Observe properties of two homologous compounds.

Real Life Question:

Can varying only the carbon chain length of a compound, change its properties?

Key Words / FlashCards
Key Words Definitions (pref. in our own words)
Homologous series These are the compounds where functional groups are same, only the length of chain varies.
Learning aids / Gadgets
Gadgets How it can be used
Stick models Make hydrocarbons, and then replace hydrogen atoms by different elements. Now increase the size of carbon chains.
Real life uses :

This knowledge helps us predict properties of group of compounds.
