Abstract

The patterns of variation of different parameters (A) of organic compounds within a homologous series (such as boiling point under atmospheric pressure, critical temperature, critical pressure, refractive index, relative density, viscosity, surface tension, saturated vapor pressure, dielectric constant, first adiabatic ionization energies, etc.) are identical, and they can be described in terms of a single linear recurrent equation, A(n+1)=aA(n)+b. This equation relates a property of any member of a homologous series to the corresponding parameters of preceding homologs. The largest deviations from the proposed relation were revealed only in some homologous series for a few (1 or 2) simplest representatives which are characterized by deviations of all parameters.
