Q13 of 30 Page 1

Assertion (A): Following are the members of a homologous series:

CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, CH3CH2CH2OH


Reason (R): A series of compounds with same functional group but differing by -CH2- unit is called a homologous series.


Homologous series is a series of compounds with similar chemical properties and same functional group differing from the successive member by CH2 unit. Carbon chains of varying length have been observed in organic compounds having the same general formula.
