MCQ
All members of a homologous series have the same :
  • A
    Chemical formula.
  • Empirical formula.
  • C
    Boiling point.
  • D
    Melting point.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Empirical formula.
Homologous series differ by a $\ce{CH_2}$​ group. It has a mass of $14$ units.
They can be represented by a common general formula for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and other functional groups. They can thus, be represented by a common empirical formula.
For example alkanes has empirical formula $\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_\text{2 n+2}$ and for alkenes it is $\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_\text{2 n}$ etc.
