Answer:
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..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 CH2 units in the main carbon chain.
