The general characteristics of a homologous series:
1) Each member of a series can be represented by a same general formula
2) all the members of the series possess a common functional group and hence their chemical properties are similar
I hope this will hell you:l
can write answer in expand form means by giving example in eight points
http://brainly.in/question/84062 can you please help me
Yea, sure
3) two adjacent members of the series differ bybonly one -CH2 - units (methylene) unit which is known as the methylene group and their molecular weight differ by 14 units
4) all the members of the series can be prepared by the same general methods
5) the physical properties like the melting point, boiling point and density of the members in the series change gradually with the increase of molecular formula
kay..fine thank u
this much is enough

Answer:
Characteristics of organic compounds are as follows:
- These are mad up of only a few elements C, H, O, N, S, X. (Cl, Br, I)
- These involve covalent bonds.
- These are generally gases or liquids.
- They have low melting and boiling points.
- They are combustible.
- They show molecular reactions.
- They show isomerism.
- These are non - conductors of electricity.
- There are generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
