Inorganic Homologous Series
Homologous series are not unique to organic chemistry. Titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum oxides all form homologous series (e.g. VnO2n-1 for 2 < n < 10), as do the silanes, SinH2n+2 (with n up to 8) that are analogous to the alkanes, CnH2n+2.

“Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
