Question

What is homologous series? Explain with an example.​

Answer 1

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 the general formula of this series is CnH2n+2

please mark me as brainliest.

Answer 2

All the members of organic compounds that obey a general formula for their molecular formula are called homologs and series of such compounds are called as homologous series.

Alkane---> CnH2n+2

Alkene--->CnH2n

Alkyne--->CnH2n-2
