Question

Define homologous series of carbon compounds. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A homologous series is a group of carbon containing compounds which can: be represented by a general formula (e.g. the alkanes – CnH2n+2) have similar chemical properties. show a gradual change in their physical properties as the number of carbon atoms in the molecules increases.
