Important Questions on Organic Chemistry
All hydrocarbons are covalently bonded whether saturated or unsaturated. Draw 'dot-and-cross' diagrams for methane and ethane illustrating the arrangement of the bonding electrons. You only need to draw the outer electrons of the carbon atoms.

The table shows the formulae of the first three members of the alcohol homologous series.
Alcohol | Formula |
Methanol | |
Ethanol | |
Propanol |
Use the information given to deduce the general formula for the alcohol homologous series.

Ethanol, the most significant of the alcohols can be manufactured from either ethene or glucose. Write an equation for the industrial production of ethanol from ethene and state the conditions under which the reaction takes place.
