Which of the following factors characterize members of the same homologous series?
A. The chemical property change gradually throughout the series B. physical properties of members are similar C. They have the same molecular formular D. Successive members undergo changes in molecular formula by \(CH_{2}\)
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The difference between every successive member of the same homologous series is always \(CH_{2}\) eg methane is \(CH_{4}\) and ethane is \(C_{2}H_{6}\), difference being \(CH_{2}\).
