Chemical Properties. Organic compounds that are part of thesame homologous series generally have similar chemical propertiesas each other, due to the presence of the same functional group in the molecules of all compounds in theseries.

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.
