Explanation:
☑️ In chemistry, a homologous series is a group of compounds that share the same basic chemical makeup, but differ in the number of iterations of a certain aspect of their structure.
Homologous series are referenced frequently in organic chemistry, where compounds can differ by the length of their carbon chain. These differences can have an effect on the physical properties of the chemicals, such as boiling point.
☑️ A homologation reaction is a reaction in which the number of repeating groups of a compound is increased. As a result, the compound becomes a different member of its homologous series. For example, the Ardnt-Eistert homologation process is used to increase the number of repeating units in a carboxylic acid. In this case, the process involves a number of different reactions that reconfigure and rearrange the atoms in the molecule.
