The two members of the homologous series are (C_4H_{10}) and pentane (C_5H_{12}

Explanation:

Homologous series are the group of compounds with same basic chemical formula but differ in the length of their carbon chain. They differ by a -CH_2 group.

The general formula for alkanes which contain single bonds is C_nH_{2n+2}. For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.

C_2H_6 is ethane and C_3H_8 is propane.

The next two members of the homologous series are butane (C_4H_{10}) and pentane (C_5H_{12}
