Homologous series is a series of compounds with similar chemical properties and same
functional group differing from the successive member by CH2. Carbon chains of
varying length have been observed in organic compounds having the same general
formula. Such organic compounds that vary from one another by a repeating unit and
have the same general formula form a series of compounds. Alkanes with general
formula CnH2n+2, alkenes with general formula CnH2n and alkynes with general
formula CnH2n-2 form the most basic homologous series in organic chemistry. All the
members belonging to this series have the same functional groups. They have similar
physical properties and follow a fixed gradation with increasing mass. This series has
enabled scientists to study different organic compounds systematically. They can
predict the properties of organic compounds belonging to a particular homologous
series based on the data available from the other members of the same series. The
study of organic compounds has been simplified.
