Question

What is a homologous series ? Write the structural formula of the first two homologues of alkynes​

Answer 1

Answer:

thanks for point thanks

Answer 2

Explanation:

A Homologous Series is a group of organic chemical compounds, usually listed in order of increasing size, that have a similar structure (and hence, also similar properties) and whose structures differ only by the number of CH

2

units in the main carbon chain.

Members of the series can be represented by a general formula. Successive members differ from each other by CH

. Physical properties change regularly with increasing number of carbon atoms. Members have similar chemical properties because they have same functional group. Members of the homologous series can be prepared using the same method.
