Question

Write the characteristics of homologus series?

Answer 1

Answer:

Characteristics are :

The members of the homologous series have same functional group.

Members have the same general formula.

Members have the almost same chemical properties due to same functional group.

Members have common general method of preparation.

Answer 2

Answer:

• In compounds of homologus series some functional groups.

• The compounds have similar chemical properties.

• The difference of successive formula of series is always CH₂

• The difference between the molecular masses of successive compound is always 14u.

• Moving from the start to the end of homologus there is increase in molecular masses which gave rise to change in physical properties.

• Boiling point and melting point increases with the increase in the molecular mass.
