Chemistry · Classification of organic compounds based on functional groups and those containing halogens, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur, homologous series
Define homologous series.
Define homologous series.
- A. Compound with same melting point
- B. Compound which are stereo isomers
- C. Compounds which have different parameters
- D. Compound with same general formula
Step-by-step solution
A homologous series is a group of organic compounds that have the same general formula and similar chemical properties, with each successive member differing by a CH2 group. Option D correctly captures this definition.
