• The members of the homologous series have same functional group.

• Members have the same general formula.

Answer 2

Answer:

Characteristics are :

The members of the homologous series have same functional group.

Members have the same general formula.

Members have the almost same chemical

properties due to same functional group.

Members have common general method of preparation.

Explanation:

group of organic compounds which can be represented by the same general formula with a same functional group and which show more or less similar trends in their properties is known as homologous series. Example: The homologous series of straight chain alkanes can be represented by the general formula CnH2n+2.
