Question

Define the following functional group of homologous series

Answer 1

Explanation:

Homologous series in organic chemistry are groups of molecules that have the same basic structure, including the same functional group. They only differ in the number of methylene (CH2 ) groups. The chemical properties of homologous series are similar because they have the same functional group.

Answer 2

homologous series is the  successive series of carbon compounds which differ from the CH2 group having the same chemical properties and same functional group and which belongs to the same family

----------------------------------

example

----------------------------

butane ------ C4H10

pentane ----- C5H12

hexane ------ C6H14

these two will differ from CH2  group and they belong to alkane family and are successive carbon compounds

there homologous series of carbon compounds will differ from 14 amu because molar mass of CH2 is 14
