Homologous series - with data plotting

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.\n\nIdeal 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.
