A homologous series is a series of carbon compounds that have different numbers of carbon atoms but contain the same functional group. For example, methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc. are all part of the alkane homologous series.

Because the functional group is the same for each molecule in a homologous series, the homologues have similar reactivities. Some examples of functional groups in homologous series are alcohols (-OH), carboxylic acids (-COOH), aldehydes (COH), ketones (C=O), and amines (N), among many others.
