  • OH is the functional group of the alcohols.

  • It is this group that gives alcohols their characteristic properties

  • A homologous series is a family of compounds with the same functional group, which differ in formula by CH2 from the next member

  • There is a gradation in physical propertis of a homologous group as CH2 is added
