Octane belongs to the homologous series of alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbons characterized by single bonds between carbon atoms. The general formula for alkanes is CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, where "n" represents the number of carbon atoms. Octane specifically has eight carbon atoms, with the molecular formula C₈H₁₈.
Cyclohexane shares its general formula with the cycloalkanes homologous series, which is CnH2n.
All the families of organic compounds exist as a homologous series (A series having a difference of 'CH2' unit between two consecutive members) the main homologous series-es are Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols and Carboxylic acids (Fatty acids).
A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
C2h4, c3h6, c4h8
Each member differs by CH2 so the difference in carbon atoms is simply 1.

Substances belong to the same homologous series if they have similar chemical structures with a repeating functional group or molecular formula pattern. This commonality results in analogous physical and chemical properties among the substances in the series, making them part of the same homologous series.

Octane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H18.

C4H10, butane, is a member of the same homologous series as C3H8, propane. Both are alkanes with consecutive carbon chain lengths and differ by a CH2 unit.

A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
Homologous series of carbon compounds are so called because they have similar chemical properties and structures, due to their same functional group and gradual increase in the length of carbon chain. This similarity arises because each member of the series differs from the previous one by a repeating unit of CH2.
All hydrocarbons belonging to the same homologous series will share a similar general formula and exhibit a consistent progression in physical properties (such as boiling points and melting points) as the number of carbon atoms increases. Examples of hydrocarbons that could belong to the same homologous series include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
The functional group of 3 would be alcohol, which is part of the homologous series known as alcohols. These compounds have the general formula R-OH, where R represents a hydrocarbon chain.
