Give one example of each of the following. i) Saturated hydrocarbon ii) Cyclic compounds iii) Unsaturated hydrocarbon iv) Functional group v) Homologous series

Answer»

i) Saturated hydrocarbons are Alkanes, So the examples are methane (CH4), Ethane, (C2H6). 

ii) Cyclic compounds are cycle alkanes, eg : Cyclo propane (C3H6), Cycle butane (C4H6). 

iii) Unsaturated hydrocarbons are Aikynes, eg : Ethene (C2H4), Propene 

iv) The examples for functional groups are ‘ 1. Aldehyde – CHO, 2. Alcohol = OH 

v) A series of carbon compounds that differ by – CH2 with similar chemical properties is called homologous series. eg: 1, Alkane, 2, Alkene
