Such organic compounds that vary from one another by a repeating unit and have the same general formula form a series of compounds, Alkanes with the general formula CoHanea, alkenes with the general formula C;Hay and alkynes with the general formula C,H, form the most basic homologous series in organic chemistry. All the members belonging to this series have the same functional groups. They have similar physical properties and follow a fixed gradation with increasing mass. This series has enabled scientists to study different organic compounds systematically. They can predict the properties of organic compounds belonging to a particular homologous series based on the data available from the other members of the same series, The study of organic compounds has been simplified.
