Question

explain about homologous series

Answer 1

 organic chemistry, a homologous series is a series of compounds with the same general formula, usually varying by a single parameter. ... Compounds within a homologous series typically have a fixed set of functional groups that gives them similar chemical and physical properties.

Answer 2

hey

here is answer

homologous series.

homologous series may be defined as follows

a group of organic compounds containing a particular functional group is termed as homologous series.

a member of. homologous series is called a homologue.

characteristics.

1. all the members of homologous series can be described by a common general formula

2. each member of homologous series differs from its higher and lower neighbouring members by common difference of -CH2

3. all the members of homologous series shows similar chemical properties.

4. physical properties in a homologous series show a regular variation with an increase in molecular mass

hope it helps
