Solution

Succeeding members of a homologous series differ by CH $_{2}$ .

$E x a m p l e :$ Methane (CH $_{4}$ ), Ethane (C $_{2}$ H $_{6}$ ), Propane (C $_{3}$ H $_{8}$ ) are homologous of Alkanes

Homologous are a series of compounds differing from each other by a repeating unit, methylene bridge −CH $_{2}$ −
