Answer 1

Characteristics of Homologous Series :

All the members of a homologous series can be represented by the same general formula.

Any two adjacent homologous differ by 1 carbon atom and 2 hydrogen atoms in their molecular formula.

The difference in the molecular masses of any two adjacent homologous is 14 units.

Answer 2

A homologous series in organic chemistry is a group of organic compounds (compounds that contain C atoms) that differ from each other by one methylene (CH2 ) group. For example, methane, ethane, and propane are part of a homologous series
