Why homologous series of carbon compounds are so called? Write chemical formula of two consecutive members of a homologous series and state the part of these compounds that determines their (i) physical properties, and (ii) chemical properties.

उत्तर
Homologous series of carbon compounds are so called because in such a series of compounds, the same functional group dictates the properties of the carbon compound regardless of the length of the carbon chain. The two consecutive members of a homologous series are CH3OH and C2H5OH (belong to alcohol)
