Define the term "homologous series of carbon compounds". Write a homologous series of compounds having functional group - CHO.

Design an experiment to distinguish between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. Also write chemical equation for that case in which reaction occurs.

Define the term "structural isomers". Write the structures of two isomers of butane $\displaystyle \left(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10}\right)$.

Two carbon compounds X and Y have the molecular formula $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}$ respectively. Which one of the two is most likely to show addition reaction ? Justify your answer. Also give

chemical equation to explain the process of addition reaction in this case and (ii) name of the industry where this reaction is applied.
