Question

C₂₅H₅₂ and C₅₀H₁₀₂ belong to ______ homologous series.

Options

• the same

• different

Answer 1

C₂₅H₅₂ and C₅₀H₁₀₂ belong to the same homologous series.

Explanation:

C₂₅H₅₂ and C₅₀H₁₀₂ follow the general formula for alkanes (C_nH_2n+1), meaning they belong to the same homologous series. Each successive member in a homologous series differs by a CH₂ group, maintaining similar chemical properties.
