Detailed Solution

Given data:It is given to identify homologous series have similar chemical & physical properties.

Explanation:

Homologous series is a class of organic compounds having same general formula & similar chemical and physical properties they differ by only −CH2 groups .
Characteristics of homologous series :
(i) Each member of the series differs from one methylene group (−CH2) and it is of 14 amu .
(ii) All members of a homologous series have the same elements and functional group .
(iii) A general molecular formula. Eg : Alkanes ,  CnH2n+2.
(iv ) They show a regular gradation in their physical properties with increase in molecular mass .
(v) Chemical properties of the members of a homologous series are similar.

Hence, homologous series have similar chemical & physical properties.
