. Write any 4 characteristic features of a homologous
series of organic compounds?
Best Answer
Explanation:
Homologous series: Compounds which have the same functional group and same chemical properties but differ in CH2 units.
Characteristic features:
- They have the same functional group.
- They have the same chemical properties.
- They have the same general formula.
- They have a difference of CH2 unit.
Eg. Methane CH4 and Ethane C2H6
Final Answer :
Hence homologous series compounds have the same functional group,same chemical properties, same general formula but differ by CH2 unit.
