Homologous series :
A Homologous Series is a group of organic chemical compounds, usually listed in order of increasing size, that have a similar structure (and hence also similar properties) and whose structures differ only by the number of CH2 units in the main carbon chain.
ALKANES :
CnH2n +2
ALKENES :
CnH2n
ALKYNES :
CnH2n-2
