A series of compound with similar chemical properties. In which, members differ from one another by additional CH2 group.

Answer 2

Answer:

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. The only difference among these molecules is that they have different numbers of CH2 groups.
