Question

What is homologous series of carbon compounds?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

series of compounds in which the same functional group substitutes for hydrogen in a carbon chain is called a homologous series.

Explanation:

CH3OH,C2H5OH and C3H7OH is an example of homologous series. the difference between the formulae of any two successive members is -CH2 while the difference between the molecular masses is 14u.

Answer 2

A homologous series is a series of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical properties in which each succesive member differs by CH2. Two characteristics are- 1. All the members of a homologous series can be represented by the same general formula.
