Question

what is an Homologous series? explain with an example.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A homologous series is a series of carbon compounds that have different numbers of carbon atoms but contain the same functional group.

For example, methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc. are all part of the alkane homologous series.

Answer 2

Explanation:

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.[1] This can be the length of a carbon chain,[1] for example in the straight-chained alkanes (paraffins), or it could be the number of monomers in a homopolymer such as amylose.
