Question

what is the difference in the molecular formula of any two consecutive member of homologous series of organic compounds ? what is homologous series ?

Answer 1

The difference between any two members of a series is CH2 or a mass of 14. A homologous series is a set of similar kind of compounds with same functional group and having a molecular formula as the multiples of the general formula of that series.

Answer 2

hey

here is answer

homologous series.

homologous series may be defined as follows

a group of organic compounds containing a particular functional group is termed as homologous series.

a member of. homologous series is called a homologue.

characteristics.

1. all the members of homologous series can be described by a common general formula

2. each member of homologous series differs from its higher and lower neighbouring members by common difference of -CH2

3. all the members of homologous series shows similar chemical properties.

4. physical properties in a homologous series show a regular variation with an increase in molecular mass

hope it helps
