Question

What is homologous series.Explain with example. (answer in short)​

Answer 1

In the field of 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.[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

• Compounds within a homologous series typically have a fixed set of functional groups that gives them similar chemical and physical properties.
• For example, methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc. are all part of the alkane homologous series. The general formula of this series is CnH2n+2.
