This document discusses carbon compounds and organic chemistry concepts. It asks questions about why carbon forms many compounds, defines homologous series, hydrocarbons, and alcohol types. It also asks about the grams of oxygen needed to oxidize butane and the relative ease of biodegrading primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.

5.1Why is it possible to have so many compounds of carbon ?
5.2 Define homologous series, homolog, hydrocarbon, and alkyl radical. 5.3 Define isomerism and illustrate with structural formulas of compounds with the molecular formula C6H14. 5.4 In general, how do organic compounds differ from inorganic compounds? 5.5 How many grams of oxygen are required to furnish just enough oxygen for the complete oxidation of 20 g of butane? 5.7 Define with suitable illustrations the terms primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, and tertiary alcohol, and indicate their relative ease of biodégradation.
