Question

What is meant by homologous series of carbon compounds? Write the general formula of (i) alkenes, and (ii) alkynes. Draw the structures of the first member of each series to show the bonding between the two carbon atoms.

Answer 1

Homologous series is a group of organic compound that have similar properties and their successive members differ from CH₂ unit.

(I) Alkenes -  CnH₂n

(ii) Alkane - CnH₂n+₂

(iii)Alkyne - CnH₂n-₂

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:In the field of organic chemistry, a homologous series is a series of compounds with the same functional group and similar chemical properties in which the members of the series can be branched or unbranched

(1) alkenes - CnH2n

(2) alkane - CnH2n+2

(3) alkyne - CnH2n-2
