    The homologous series of straight-chained alkanes begins with methane and includes ethane, propane, butane, and pentane, with each successive member differing in mass by an extra methylene bridge (-CH2- unit) inserted in the chain, resulting in a difference of 14 atomic mass units between adjacent members. Adjacent members in such a series are known as "adjacent homologues."

    The homologous series of straight-chained alkanes

    begins methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), butane (C4H10),


    and pentane (C5H12). In that series, successive members differ in mass by
    an extra methylene bridge (-CH2- unit) inserted in the chain. Thus
    the molecular mass of each member differs by 14 atomic mass units.
    Adjacent members in such a series, such as methane and ethane, are
    known as "adjacent homologues."
