they are so called because they have same molecular fprmula,same functional group for hyrogen
alcohol group:C2H5OH
C3H7OH
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:BY FUNCTIONAL GROUP(ALCOHOL:OH)
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:CARBON CHAIN

The physical property of any particular member of a homologous series depends on its size, or its position within the homologous series. The physical properties, such as solubility, melting point, boiling point, specific gravity etc. show a gradual change with the increase in their relative molecular masses.
