Your friends have posted correct answers.

Hope it is clear to you.

Nice to see active participation of all towards this forum. Keep up the good work.

The compounds in a homologous series should have
1) similar chemical formulas
2) similar chemical properties
3) physical properties that show a gradual change or trend based on the differences in their formulas

For example, you could look at boiling points of H2O, H2S, and H2Se and then explain the difference with a discussion of intermolecular forces.

all the members have the same functional group

they diifer by ch2

they have a general formula

they can be prepared using a  general method in the lab as they have the same functional group

  1. All the members of a homologous eries have same functional group....
  2. The succesive compounds of the series differ by  a CH2 group
  3. The succesive compounds of the series differ by 14 u in their masses.....
  4. The compounds of the series have similar properties........

 

Hope u got it..........
