The statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.

Explanation:

  • The alcohols have the general formula of CnH(2n+1)OH.
  • So, the alcohols will have the series of formula from the different compounds with difference between the succeeding and preceding molecules being a methylene or CH2 group.
  • So these alcohols given above are indeed homologous series.
  • There are different other homologous series like alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, etc.
  • Alcohols are one of them.
