All the organic compounds have been divided into different families or group depending upon their structure and chemical properties. A homologous series is defined as a family or group of structurally similar organic compounds all the members of which contain the same functional group, Show a gradation in physical and similarity in chemical properties and any two adjacent … [Read more...] about Homologous Series

Tetracovalency of Covalent Compounds
Compounds like urea, sugars, oils, fats, dyes, proteins, vitamins which were isolated directly or indirectly from living organisms, such as animals and plants were called organic compounds. The branch of chemistry which deal with the study of these compounds was called organic chemistry. Compounds like common salt, marble , alums, vitriols which were isolated from … [Read more...] about Tetracovalency of Covalent Compounds
