The compounds which differ by --CH2 group is called homologous series.
Exmple: CH4,C3H6..so on.

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.
