Question

explain the homologous series of alkanes and alcohols with example​

Answer 1

Answer:

homologous series is a group of organic compounds having similar chemical properties and structure in which successive compound differ by CH2

holomologous series of alkanes

methane CH4

ethane C2H6

propane C3H8

Answer 2

$\huge \fbox \pink{Answer:}$

The corresponding homologous series of primary straight-chained alcohols comprises methanol (CH4O), ethanol (C2H6O), 1-propanol (C3H8O), 1-butanol, and so on.

Examples:

Homologous series Straight-chain alkanes

$General \: formula \: = C \frac{}{n} H \frac{}{2n + 2} + (n ≥ 1)$

$Repeating unit = −CH \frac{}{2} −$

$Functional \: group = (s) H \frac{}{3} C− .. \: \: \: −CH \frac{}{3}$
