The chemical formula of two consecutive members of the homologous series of aldehydes is CH3-CHO and CH3-CH2-CHO.

Explanation:

  • Aldehydes is CH3-CHO and CH3-CH2-CHO are the two consecutive members they are homologous series of aldehyde is methanal, ethanal.
  • Also known as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.
  • In this series, each successive compound differs from the previous one by a -CH2group.
  • They are better known as Aldehydes and are organic compounds that contain a carbonyl functional group, C=O.
  • The carbon atom of the aldehyde group has two remaining bonds that may be occupied by hydrogen or alkyl or aryl substituents.
