Question

Following are the members of a homologous series :CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, CH3CH2CH2OH

​

Answer 1

Answer:

These are the members of homologous series ALCOHOL.

Answer 2

Answer:

The given compounds CH₃-OH, CH₃-CH₂-OH, CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH belongs to the same homologous series (I.e; alcohol)

Explanation:

Homologous series:

The series of compounds with similar chemical properties and same functional group differing from the successive member by CH₂.

Now, the given compounds are:

CH₃-OH (methanol), CH₃-CH₂-OH (ethanol), CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH (propanol)

These compounds are having same functional group I.e; '-OH'.

And these compounds differ by '-CH₂'.

So, these are the compounds which belongs to same homologous series of alcohol.
