Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow : Homologous series is a series of compounds with similar chemical properties and same functional group differing from the successive member by —CH₂ unit. Carbon chains of varying length have been general formula. Such organic compounds that vary from one another by a repeating unit and have the same general formula from a series if compounds. Alkanes with general formula CₙH₂ₙ+₂, alkenes with general formula CₙH₂ₙ and alkynes with general formula CₙH₂ₙ-₂ form the most basic homologous series in organic chemistry. All the members belonging to this series have the same functional groups. They have similar physical properties and follow a fixed gradation with increasing mass. This series has enabled scientists to study different organic compounds systematically. They can predict the properties of organic compounds belonging to a particular homologous series based on the data available from the other members of the same series. The study of organic compounds has been simplified. Q1. Which of these statements is correct about the members of a homologous series? (A) They have same melting points (B) They have same general formula (C) They have same molecular masses (D) They have same physical properties Q2. Two compounds CH₃OH and C₂H₅OH are provided. The difference in its formulae and molecular masses are _I_ and __II__. (A) I-CH₃, II-16 units (B) I-CH₂, II-14 units (C) I-CH₄, II-18 units (D) I-CH₃, II-16 units Q3. What is the molecular formula of the 5th member of the homologous series of carbon compounds, which is represented by the general formula CₙH₂ₙ+₁OH? Q4. The general formula of alkene is : (A) CₙH₂ₙ (B) CₙH₂ₙ+₂ (C) CₙH₂ₙ-₂ (D) CₙH₂ₙ+₁ Q3. Name the functional group present in the following compound : (i) CH₃COOH (ii) CH₃C(O)CH₃ II. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow : The pictures show the bonds formed by the sharing of electrons by the atoms of four different molecules. Q1. Which molecule has the strongest bond between its atoms? (A) Hydrogen (B) Carbon (C) Nitrogen (D) Oxygen Q. 2. What is this type of bond between atoms known as? Q. 3. Which of these statements is true about carbon compounds? Circle ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ for the correct response. Is this true about carbon compounds? Yes or No They are good conductors of electricity? Yes/No They exist in either saturated or unsaturated form. Yes/No They have lower boiling points than ionic compounds. Yes/No Q. 4. Which element exhibits the property of catenation to maximum extent and why?
