Draw formulas for the first five members of each homologous series beginning with the following compounds.
(a) H–COOH
(b) CH3COCH3
(c) H–CH=CH2
The first five members of each homologous series beginning with the given compounds are shown as follows:
(a)
H-COOH : Methanoic acid
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{COOH}$ : Ethanoic acid
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{COOH}$ : Propanoic acid
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{COOH}:$ Butanoic acid
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{COOH}$ : Pentanoic acid
(b)
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{3}$ : Propanone
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}$ : Butanone
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}$ : Pentan-2-one
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}$ : Hexan-2-one
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}$ : Heptan-2-one
(c)
$\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}$ : Ethene
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}$ : Propene
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}: 1$-Butene
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}:$ 1-Pentene
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}: 1$-Hexene
