CH3OH,C2H5OH, C3H7OH, ...........Observe the above series of compound and answer the given questions. (a) Is it a homologous series ? Why ? (b) Do they show similarities in chemical and physical properties ? Why ? (c) Write the next two homologs in the series, if it is a homologous series. (d) Write any homologous series which you know

Answer»

(a) Yes, it is a homologous series. Because, the difference between two successive homologs is – CH2

(b) Yes, the compounds show similar chemical and physical properties. Because all are have same functional group and same molecular formula, CnH2n + 1OH. 

(c) The next homologs are C4 H9 OH and C5 H11OH. 

(d) C2H4,C3 H6, C4H8, C5H10 , ......... is a homologous series.
