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. |
