Describe the features of a homologous series.
How do the chemical and physical properties change throughout a series of homologous structures?
a. Draw the structures of a homologous serious containing 1 to 6 carbons and explain the change (or lack
of change) in physical and chemical properties throughout.
Write the a) empirical formula, b) structural formula (expanded and condensed), and c) molecular formula for
3,3-dichloro-2-methylbutanoic acid.
Define isomer.
Draw and name the structural isomers of hexane (you should be able to do this for all noncyclic alkanes with up
to 6 carbons).
Draw and name the structural isomers of hexene (you should be able to do this for all noncyclic alkenes with up
to 6 carbons).
List the IUPAC naming rules for compounds containing up to 6 carbon atoms with one of the following functional
groups:
a. Alcohol, carboxylic acid, aldehyde, ketone, halide
b. Discuss the volatility and solubility in water of compounds containing these 5 functional groups.
Use structural formulas to describe how to determine if a hydrocarbon is a tertiary, secondary or primary
alcohol (or halogenoalkanes).
