IB Chemistry HL 3.2.3 Homologous series
Recognise homologous series from formulae and structures, and state the precise features that make compounds members of the same family.
How this is tested
- state the alkene general formula CnH2n when identifying a homologous series from formulas
- distinguish compounds in the same homologous series from those with a different functional group
- define a homologous series: same functional group and formula pattern, successive members differ by CH2
