Question

Homologous series predict the properties of the members of the series. Justify this statement through its characteristics.

Answer 1

Properties of members of same homologous series:-

1) They have same chemical properties due to presence of same functional group.

2) The physical properties (like solubility, melting point, boiling point, density, etc) of members of a homologous series either gradually increases or decreases with the increase in molecular mass.
