way to find homologues series in organic chemistry
Hi,
Homologous series is basically a group of carbon containing compounds that usually differ only in number of carbon atoms in the chain and follow a similar structure. They can also be defined by a general formula for eg: For alkanes it is C n H 2n + 2 .They have similar chemical properties. show a gradual change in their physical properties as the number of carbon atoms in the molecules increases.
I hope this helped you.
