उत्तर १
The molecular formula of two consecutive members of homologous series of aldehydes:-
\[\ce{CH3 - CHO}\] and \[\ce{CH3 - CH2 - CHO}\]
In \[\ce{CH3 - CHO}\] compound, \[\ce{-CHO}\] part and in \[\ce{CH3 - CH2 - CHO}\], \[\ce{-CH2-CHO}\] part will determine their physical and chemical properties.
उत्तर २
Two consecutive members:
| Molecular Formula | Structure | |
| Methanal (Formaldehyde) | \[\ce{CH2O}\] | \[\ce{H - CHO}\] |
| Ethanal (Acetaldehyde) | \[\ce{C2H4O}\] | \[\ce{CH3 - CHO}\] |
Notes
