Question

What is the formula and name of next homologue of CH3COCH3?

Answer 1

Answer:

It's CH3CH2COCH3. If you're talking about acetone, then its homologue is ethyl methyl ketone. Or,if you're talking about propionaldehyde, then its homologue is butyraldehyde.

Answer 2

$CH3COCH3$ is a Ketone and its homologue is Butanone.

Explanation:

• Ketone is the carbonyl compound with the functional group with a formula $R2C=O$ where R can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents.
• The acetone is the smallest member of Ketone family
• Butanone is the next homologue of acetone.
• Both these ketones will react to form oximes
• They will form optically active compounds.
• The molecular formula of acetone is $C3H6O$ and the next homologue Butanone is $C4H8O$
