Question

Define function group and homologous series

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, a homologous series is a series of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical properties in which the members of the series differ by the number of repeating units they contain. 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.[

Answer 2

A homologous series is a series of organic compounds that differ by a CH2 group within a functional group. A functional group is a class of organic compounds that have a function in common. They tend to all act the same in a chemical reaction. For example, all alcohols have an OH group...
