Answer 2

The value of 'n' for the first member is 1.

Aldehydes are a class of organic compounds which are characterised by a -CHO group addendum to the main alkyl group. Here, C refers to Carbon, H refers to Hydrogen and ) refers to Oxygen.

Such compounds are often denoted by a similar general formula for ketones, which are a different class of organic compounds.
