Describe shared functional groups and general formulae, CH2 increments, physical-property trends, and similar chemical behavior in a homologous series.
Describe the general characteristics of a homologous series. These can include; (a) having the same functional group (b) having the same general formula (c) differing ifrom one member to the next by a - - unit(d) displaying a trend in physical properties(e) sharing similar chemical properties.
