what is homologous series? explain with example.
Answers
In organic chemistry, 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, or differ by -CH2.
HOPE IT HELPS..PLS MARK AS BRAINLIEST..
homologous series is the successive series of carbon compounds which differ from the CH2 group having the same chemical properties and same functional group and which belongs to the same family
----------------------------------
example
----------------------------
butane ------ C4H10
pentane ----- C5H12
hexane ------ C6H14
these two will differ from CH2 group and they belong to alkane family and are successive carbon compounds
there homologous series of carbon compounds will differ from 14 amu because molar mass of CH2 is 14
