What is a series of organic compounds having the same functional group, in which successive members differ by a \\(\mathrm{-CH_2-}\\) unit, called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Homologous series

All members of a homologous series have the same functional group and similar chemical properties. Their successive molecular formulas differ by a \\(\mathrm{-CH_2-}\\) unit, as in ethane \\(\mathrm{C_2H_6}\\) and propane \\(\mathrm{C_3H_8}\\). In isomerism, compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures, so it is not a homologous series.
