Question

how many carbon atom are present in third homologue of methyl ether​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The chemical formula of methyl ether : CH₃ - O - CH₃

By definition, a homologous series is defined as the series in which each subsequent member differs from its previous member by -CH₂ group.

Thus,

First homologue of CH₃ - O - CH₃ : CH₃ - O - CH₂ - CH₃

second homologue of CH₃ - O - CH₃ : CH₃ - O - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₃

third homologue of CH₃ - O - CH₃ : CH₃ - O - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₃

Number of carbon atoms in third homologue = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

3rd homologue means 3rd member of homologous series. so 3rd homologue have 4 C-atoms in it.
