Key Points
- Homologous series
- Homologous series is a series of compounds with similar chemical properties and some functional groups differing from the successive member by CH2.
- Carbon chains of varying lengths have been observed in organic compounds having the same general formula.
- Such organic compounds that vary from one another by a repeating unit and have the same general formula form a series of compounds.
- Alkanes with the general formula CnH2n+2, alkenes with the general formula CnH2n, and alkynes with the general formula CnH2n-2 form the most basic homologous series in organic chemistry.
- The same thing can be observed in the case of alkenes in which the first member is ethene and the successive members are C3H6, C4H8, and C5H10.
- They differ from each other by a –CH2 unit. The Alkene formula is written as CnH2n.
