Title: What's the difference between functional group and homologous series? Post by: tlegarda on Sep 19, 2012 A homologous series is a group of organic compounds with similar general formula. It is true that each group of homologous series have the same functional group.
An example of homologous series is: Alcohol with the general formula of CnH(2n + 1)OH (n ? 1) The functional group, however, just refers to the structure that represents the homologous series. Using the same example, it would be -OH. Title: What's the difference between functional group and homologous series? Post by: tlgaither on Sep 19, 2012 Content hidden
