Question

simple definaction of homologous series?

Answer 1

A group of organic compounds having similar chemical properties having same general formula and whose successive members differ by CH2 unit and 14 mass unit.

Answer 2

hey

here is answer

homologous series.

homologous series may be defined as follows

a group of organic compounds containing a particular functional group is termed as homologous series.

a member of. homologous series is called a homologue.

characteristics.

1. all the members of homologous series can be described by a common general formula

2. each member of homologous series differs from its higher and lower neighbouring members by common difference of -CH2

3. all the members of homologous series shows similar chemical properties.

4. physical properties in a homologous series show a regular variation with an increase in molecular mass

hope it helps
