Homologous Series
Each member of this series differs from the previous one by an increment of -CH 2 - group. Thus, the methane family is a homologous series that can be characterised by the formula C n H 2n+2 . All members of this group can be prepared by the reduction of their appropri..
Examples of homologous series
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, aldehydes, carboxylic acids etc. form separate homologous series..
Homologous Series
A homologous series is a family of organic compounds containing a particular characteristic group and exhibiting similar properties. For example, the compounds given below belong to the alcohol family. CH 3 OH methyl alcohol (methanol) CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH propyl alcohol (1-propano..
Homologous Series
All organic compounds are made up of a progressively building chain of carbon atoms with a number of compounds having the same functional group..
Hydrocarbons - Homologous Series
Homologous series is a series of organic compounds having the same general formula, arranged in an ascending order of their molecular masses. Each member of the series is called homologu..
Advantages of homologous series
The study of organic compounds becomes easier with the knowledge of homologous series. The study of a vast number of organic compounds become restricted to the study of a few series of homologue..
Characteristics of homologous series
All homologues of a series have the same general formula e.g., all alkanes have the general formula C n H 2 n + 2 . Each consecutive member differs from the next by one carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms (-CH 2 group). The difference in the molecular mass between two consecuti..

I like the way this tutors double check the work with me and took time to explain each detail. It really helped me to better understand - Harry
Tutor Vista tutors actually helped me to think through some of the problems instead of just doing them for me.Now i am more confident with math ,Thank you all
Tutor Vista tutors are extremely helpful, patient, and nice to me. They are very talented and experienced tutors! Keep up the good work! - Loren
This was excellent. I was cluesless on this subject and now I completely understand it.Mind blowing service,Thank you Tutor Vista
