(i) All the members of a series have the same functional group, similar structure and same general formula.
(ii)CH3OH, C2H5OH
(iii) The physical properties are determined by alkyl group/hydrocarbon part/part other than the functional group.
(iv) The chemical properties are determined by a functional group such as -OH group, or any other example from any homologous series.
