Characteristics of a homologous series:

. ...

Characteristics of a homologous series:Each member of the series differs from the preceding one by the addition of a -CH2 group and by 14 a.m.u.All members of a homologous series share the general formula. ...The physical properties of the members show a gradation in properties as the molecular mass increases.

Good evening janaab g

All the members of homologous series have same functional group. ❇All the members of homologous series have same general formula. ❇The change in properties of homologous series is because of Change in size of a alkyle group. ❇Each successive member in homologous series differ by molecular formula ( CH2).
