Question

Write the next homologue of each of the following : (i) C2144 (ii) C4He

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) C₃H₆

(ii) C₅H₈

Explanation:

The correct question is :

Write the next homologue of each of the following : (i) C₂H₄ (ii) C₄H₆

Homologous series is a group of compounds with similar chemical properties who share the same general formula.

Every compound in a Homologous series differ from the successive member by CH₂.

Therefore, the next homologue of C₂H₄ will be C₃H₆ and the next homologue of C₄H₆ will be C₅H₈

Hope this helps.
