11.1 Homologous series

• A homologous series is a set of compounds with one repeating functional group

Physical Properties of Alkanes

• As chain length increases, so does boiling point, as an increased number of electrons causes stronger Van de Waal forces
• The increase in boiling temperature is rapid at first, but flattens off

11.2 Hydrocarbons

• Compounds containing only Hydrogen and carbon
