Answer:
C3H6, C4H8, and C5H10. They differ from each other by a –CH2 unit. Alkene formula is written as CnH2n.
Explanation:
A homologous series is a family of hydrocarbons with similar chemical properties who share the same general formula. We will look at three hydrocarbon series: alkanes, alkenes and the cycloalkanes. Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon.

Explanation:
Compounds within a homologous series typically have a fixed set of functional groups that gives them similar chemical and physical properties. For example, methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc. are all part of the alkane homologous series. The general formula of this series is CnH2n+2.
