carbon
compounds?
Answers
Answer:
A homologous series is a group of carbon containing compounds which can: be represented by a general formula (e.g. the alkanes – CnH2n+2) have similar chemical properties. show a gradual change in their physical properties as the number of carbon atoms in the molecules increases.

Answer:
Explanation: homologous series includes a series of carbon compounds that differ by a CH2 unit or a mass of 14 grams.
these homologous series have some characteristic properties like
- same functional group
- same chemical property
- similar type of bonding
- they show regular gradation in their physical properties
Example of homologous series are:-
• CH4, C2H6, C3H8, C4H10, etc
They maybe alkanes, alkenes, alkynes.
Hope this brief explanation had given you a clear idea.
