Members of a homologous series have

A

(1) same physical properties

B

(2) same general formula

C

(3) same chemical properties

D

(4) same molecular masses

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Homologous series of organic compounds that can be represented by a general formula. Their molecular formulas differ by the number of `CH_(2)` groups. Homologues undergo similar chemical reactions whose rates depends on the size of the alkyl or aryl gropup and shape of the molecule. Homologues with similar carbon chains exhibit regualr change in physical properties such as an increase in boiling point.
