Question

what is homologous series ? state its characteristics​

Answer 1

Answer:

Four characteristics of a homologous series are: (i) The general formula of all compounds in the series is the same. (ii) They have the same functional group. (iii) Their physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, density, generally show a gradual change with increase of molecular formula in the series.......

hope it's helps.....

Answer 2

Explanation:

A series of organic compound in which each compound has the same functional group and each compound is greater by 14 gram in molecular weight by its preceding compound

Property :-.

1)All compound have same functional group .

2)The common difference exists between the molecular weight of the compound

3)Each compound has one CH2 group more than the preceding one

4)Melting point and boiling point increase when we go from the first compound to the last
