Plz solve these two
Dear Student
1. It is because the structural formula is same. And branching is not possible for the terminal carbon atoms of the carbon chain.
Parent chain has only 1, 2, 3 carbon atoms so it is not possible to have different arrangements of carbon atoms.
2. Characteristics are:

2. Characteristics are:
- All homologues of a series have the same general formula e.g., all alkanes have the general formula CnH2 n + 2.
- Each consecutive member differs from the next by one carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms (-CH2 group).
