Question

What is the homologus series write its two characters and also give the two example of homologus series

Answer 1

Hi, This is the answer of me.

HOMOLOGOUS SERIES.
Group or class of organic compounds related to each other by a general molecular formula contributes homologous series.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HOMOLOGOUS SERIES.
All members of a series contain same elements and the same functional group.
All members of a homologous series can be repeated by a general formula
All the members of a homologous series can be repeated by similar methods.
All members of the homologous series usually undergo similar chemical reaction.
Successive members in a series differ by a - CH2 group.
The physical properties of the members of the homologous series vary in a regular way down the series.

EXAMPLE.
Alkane (Cn H2n +2)
Alkene (Cn H2n)
Alkyne (Cn H2n- 2)
cycloalkanes.

Answer 2

Homologous series is a series of carbon compounds which have different number of carbon atoms but have same functional group .

For example methane , ethane , butane , propane , etc

Characteristics of homologous series

* All member of a series contain same elements and same functional group.

* All member of homologous series can be repeated by general formula.

* All member of homologous series can be repeated by similar method.
