Question

defination of homologous series

Answer 1

In organic chemistry, a homologous series is a series of compounds with the same general formula, usually varying by a single parameter.[1] This can be the length of a carbon chain,[1] for example in the straight-chained alkanes (paraffins), or it could be the number of monomers in a homopolymer such as amylose.[2]

Answer 2

a series of compound in which the same functional group substitute for hydrogen in a carbon chain is called homologous series.
