Students are asked to plot boiling point data against atomic mass for a number of compounds. They then have to decide which data belongs to which series (alcohol, alkane, alkene, carboxylic acid) and then fill in the table with names and molecular formula. There are 6 additional questions that focus on homologous series and links to other key ideas.
Ideal as a main part of a lesson. A lot of analysis and processing is required to complete this activity fully. Useful as an introduction to the concept of homologous series.

Great problem solving practice. Both graph plotting and working out formula and then linking this with the correct homologous series.<br /> Excellent resource and the questions are a good extension.
I love the table and getting them to work out the trends for themselves - thanks!
