Question

C3H8 belongs to homologous series of
a)alkane b)alkene c)alkyne d)cycloalkane

Answer 1

Answer:

alkynes

hope this answer help you

Answer 2

C3H8 belongs to the series of

a)alkane

Alkane

• Alkanes are a series of homologous hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that have a single bond connecting the C to all the other atoms surrounding it.
• Alkanes have a general formula $C_{n} H_{2n+2}$.
• Here, C is the carbon atom, H the hydrogen atom and n denote the number of carbon atoms present in the chain.
• $C_{3} H_{8}$.belong to alkanes since they follow the alkane formula ( $C_{3} H_{2x 3+2}$.

Incorrect options

•  $C_{3} H_{8}$ is not b) alkene because alkenes have double bonds and have a formula $C_{n} H_{2n-1}$ .
• $C_{3} H_{8}$ is not an alkyne because alkynes have triple bonds and have a general formula  $C_{n} H_{2n-2}$.
• $C_{3} H_{8}$ is also not d) Cycloalkane since cycloalkanes form ring-like structures.
