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 groups. Such a series of similarly constituted compounds are called a homologous series. Me..

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..

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..

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..

Ethyl alcohol is the most important member of the alcohol series and is otherwise known as alcohol, spirit of wine and grain alcohol. It can be prepared by any one of the general methods of preparation of primary alcohol..

Ethyl alcohol or Ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) - Ethyl alcohol is the most important member of the alcohol series and is otherwise known as alcohol, spirit of wine and grain alcohol. It can be prepared by any one of the general methods of preparati..

Ethanol, being a monohydric alcohol exhibits the properties particular of that series. Monohydric alcohols can be considered as derivatives of alkanes obtained by replacing one hydrogen atom by a hydroxyl group. Similarly, they can be considered as derivatives of wate..
