Why melting and boiling points and solubility of compounds in any homologous series increases

As the molecular mass increases in any homologous series, a gradation in physical properties is seen. This is because the melting points and boiling points increase with increasing molecular mass. Other physical properties such as solubility in a particular solvent also show a similar gradation.

hope you got ur answer mark as brinliest if possible

Solubility is not one single property, but a collection of related properties. Solubility in water is different from solubility in ethanol, which is different from solubility in benzene.

The cause of the gradation of (all of these) properties is a systematic change in intermolecular forces. The number and strength of these forces increase as molecular mass increases, which increases the boiling points and melting points. For solubility, we care about the interplay between the solute and the solvent, so we also need to know the typeof intermolecular force (polar vs. nonpolar) in addition to the total strength
