..Section-E...
37. You have seen that carbon atoms can be linked together to form chains of
varying lengths. These chains can be branched also. In addition, hydrogen atom
or other atoms on these carbon chains can be replaced by any of the functional
groups that we saw above. The presence of a functional group such as alcohol
decides the properties of the carbon compound, regardless of the length of the
carbon chain. For example, the chemical properties of CH:OH, CH«OH,
C;H,OH and C4H,OH are all very similar. Hence, such a series of compounds in
which the same functional group substitutes for hydrogen in acarbon chain is
called a homologous series. Let us look at the homologous series. If we look at
the formulac of successive compounds, say CH4 and C:H6 these differ by a
CH2 unit.

39. Kidneys are vital organs for survival. Several factors like infections, injury or
restricted blood flow to idneys reduce the activity of kidneys. This lcads to
accumulation of poisonous wastes in the body, which can even lead to death. In
case of kidney failure, an artificial kidney can be used. An artificial kidney is a
device to remove waste products from the blood through dialysis.

capsule.
