Question

C3H6,C4H8,C5H10 belong to same homologous series I) define homologous series ii) why melting point and boiling point of C5H10 are higher than C4H8 iii) arrange the hydrocarbons in order of increasing boiling points​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)homologous series is a sequence of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical properties in which the members of the series can be branched or unbranched, or differ by -CH2.

2)The melting point of C5H10 is more than C4H8 because the physical properties in a homologous series enhance or get better as we move up in the homologous series.

3)C3H6 < C4H8 < C5H10
