Question

Homologous series are the group of compounds with same basic chemical formula but differ in the length of their carbon chain

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

The physical property of any particular member of a homologous series depends on its size, or its position within the homologous series. The physical properties, such as solubility, melting point, boiling point, specific gravity etc. show a gradual change with the increase in their relative molecular masses.
