Solution

A series of compounds in which the same functional group substitutes for hydrogen in a carbon chain is called a homologous series.

The formulae of the first five members of the homologous series are given below.

$C H_{3} C O C H_{3}$
$C H_{3} C O C H_{2} C H_{3}$
$C H_{3} C H_{2} C O C H_{2} C H_{3}$
$C H_{3} C H_{2} C O C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$
$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C O C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$
