Question

describe the trend in boiling point as you go down a homologous series

Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt · Accepted Answer

boiling point increases down a homologous series because as the size of a molecule increases, (more carbon atoms, longer carbon chain) there are more intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules, thus requiring more energy to separate.
