Question

How can we define homologous series of carbon compounds ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

CARBON COMPOUNDS – HOMOLOGOUS SERIES

Carbon forms  many hundreds of thousands of different compounds, particularly when combined with hydrogen in compounds called hydrocarbons.

In order to make understanding carbon compounds easier, they are grouped into “families” or homologous series.  A homologous series is a group of carbon containing compounds which can:

be represented by a general formula (e.g. the alkanes – CnH2n+2)

have similar chemical properties

show a gradual change in their physical properties as the number of carbon atoms in the molecules increases

Answer 2

Answer:

A homologous series is a group of carbon containing compounds which can be represented by a general formula ( e.g: The alkanes= Cn+H2n+2 ) have similar chemical properties. Show a gradual change in their physical properties as the no.of carbon atoms in the molecules increases.
