what is homologus series?give its characteristics
Answers
Answer:
Features include a general formula and neighbouring members differing by CH2, with similar chemical properties and with a gradation in physical properties. Homologous series are 'families' of organic compounds. They share common characteristics: They all contain the same functional group.
Answer:
Hey Buddy here's ur answer
A series of a organic compound each containing a characteristic functional group and the successive members differ by from each other in molecular formula by --CH2--(methylene) group is called homologous series.
Characteristics / Properties of Homologous series :-
1. It can be represented by the same general formula.
2. It have the same functional group.
3. The successive members differ in their molecular formula by --CH2-- group, they differ in molecular weight by 14 units.
4. It can be prepared by similar chemical methods.
5. They show similar chemical properties.
6. They show graduation in physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, density or solubility.
