(vi)they show similar and gradual change in their chemical properties. (vii) since they are acids they show similar properties with mineral acids. (B) ISOMERS OF ALKANOIC ACIDS. Alkanoic acids exhibit both structural and position isomerism. The isomers are named by using the following basic guidelines (i)Like alkanes. identify the longest carbon chain to be the parent name. (ii)Identify the position of the -C-O-H functional group to give it the smallest O /lowest position. (iii)Identify the type and position of the side group branches.

(ii) The density decreases as the carbon chain increases as the intermolecular forces of attraction increases between the molecules making the molecule very close reducing their volume in unit mass. (iii) Solubility decreases as the carbon chain increases as the soluble –COOH end is shielded by increasing insoluble alkyl/hydrocarbon chain. (iv) Like alkanols ,alkanoic acids exist as dimmers due to the hydrogen bonds within the molecule. i.e..
