A is true and the R is false

Both assertion and reason are true about homologous series.

  • Homologous series refers to the compounds which have the same functional group. The presence of the same functional group results in similar chemical properties.
  • Propane and butane, are alkanes. They have a common -CH2 group with them.
  • Thus they belong to the same homologous series.
  • The difference between propane and butane is the number of carbon atoms. Propane has three carbon atoms and butane has four carbon atoms in its structure.
