condensation
Explanation
Catenation is the linkage of atoms of the same element into longer chains. Catenation occurs most readily in carbon, which forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms to form longer chains and structures.
This is the reason for the presence of the vast number of organic compounds in nature.
Hence, option A is correct.

Butane
Explanation
The heat liberated on combustion for a hydrocarbon depends on the number of carbon atoms. As the number of carbon atoms increases, the heat liberated during combustion also increases.
Butane has the highest number of carbon atoms and is the biggest alkane among the given options. Therefore maximum heat is liberated on its combustion. Hence option D is correct.

All of the above
Explanation
Organic compounds that are part of the same homologous series generally have similar chemical properties as each other, due to the presence of the same functional grup
in the molecules of all compounds in the series.
But they graded in physical properties, like solubility, melting, and boiling point of homologous series register a gradual changes. They increases as one move from lower to the higher series of member. Thus a
ll homologues have similar but graded physical properties.

Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
0%
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
0%
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
0%
Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Explanation
Homologues show similarity in properties because they differ from each other by the same repeating unit.
As the molecular mass increases in any homologous series, a gradation in physical properties is seen. This is because the melting and boiling points increase with increasing molecular mass.
Homologues possess the same functional group and share similar chemical properties.
Therefore, both statements are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

As it contains three carbon atoms, so the word root will be "prop". Because of the presence of functional group aldehyde, we will use "al" as a secondary suffix. As the "al" begins with the vowel "a", we will drop down the "e" from "Propane" and replace with "al". Therefore, the naming for
