Question

What do you mean by homologous series and alkyl group?

Answer 1

In organic chemistry, a homologous series is a sequence of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical properties in which the members of the series can be branched or unbranched, or differ by -CH2.

An alkyl is a functional group of an organic chemical that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, which are arranged in a chain. They have general formula CnH2n+1. Examples include methyl CH3 (derived from methane) and butyl C2H5 (derived from butane).
