Question

what is homologous series

Answer 1

In Organic Chemistry, The term 'Homologous Series' refers to where compounds can differ by the length of their carbon chain. These differences can have an effect on the physical properties of the chemicals, such as boiling point.
eg: 1.) Ethane, Propane, Butane....;
      2.) Methanoic Acid, Ethanoic Acid, Propanoic Acid....;
      3.) Hexanone, Heptanone, Octanone.... .
The above examples containing series of chain of carbon atoms forming Alkanes, Carboxylic Acids and Ketones respectively differing by a single parameter (1 - CH2 unit or 14 amu) is called Homologous Series and those compounds are called Homologues of each other. hope it helps.
