answer****⏩➡️
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.
Methane CH4
Ethane CH3CH3
Propane CH3CH2CH3
Butane CH3CH2CH2CH3
It can be noticed that there is a difference of −CH2 unit between each successive compound.
In chemistry, a homologous series is a group of compounds that share the same basic chemical makeup, but differ in the number of iterations of a certain aspect of their structure. Homologous series are referenced frequently in organic chemistry, 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.
Homologation Reactions
A homologation reaction is a reaction in which the number of repeating groups of a compound is increased. As a result, the compound becomes a different member of its homologous series. For example, the Ardnt-Eistert homologation process is used to increase the number of repeating units in a carboxylic acid. In this case, the process involves a number of different reactions that reconfigure and rearrange the atoms in the molecule.
