Question

Which of the following options has all the compounds which are members of the same homologous series?

Options

• CH₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₈

• CH₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₆

• C₃H₄, C₃H₆, C₃H₈

• C₂H₄, C₃H₆, C₄H₁₀

Answer 1

CH₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₈

Explanation:

A homologous series is a group of organic compounds that share the same general formula and exhibit similar chemical characteristics. CH₄, C₂H₆, and C₃H₈ are alkanes that adhere to the general formula \[\ce{C_nH_{(2n+2)}}\].
