Question
Which amongst the following is not a characteristic of the homologous series?
Answer: Option B
:
B
The characteristics of homologous series are:
(1) The members can be represented by the same general formula. For example, CnH2n for alkenes.
(2) Successive member differs by a CH2 group andnot by a CH3 group.
(3) Members show similarity in chemical properties.
(4) There is a regular gradation in physical properties. For example, in alkanes as 'n' value increases, their boiling point increases.
