What is a homologous series? Explain with an example.

Answer»

A series of similarly constituted components in which the members present have the same functional group and similar chemical properties and any two successive members in a particular series differ in their molecular formula by (-CH2) unit, is called a homologous series.

Ex: alkane series CnH2n + 2

CH4-Methane, C2H4-Ethane, C3H8-Propane, C4H10-Butane
