Question 1

Characteristics of a homologous series

Answer 1

• have physical properties which change gradually in the same direction along the series
• possess/show similar chemical reactions/properties though varying in vigour
  -differ in molecular formula from the next by CH2
  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.
