Question

Write the next homologue of each of the following:; (i) C2H4; (ii) C4H6(Delhi - 2016)

Answer 1

Answer:

i) C3H6 ii) C5H8............

Answer 2

The next homologues of the following will be : C3H6, C5H8

This is because the first compound C2H4 is an alkene and its general formula is CnH2n. Therefore, the next homologue will be C3H6.

C4H6 is an alkyne and has the general formula CnH2n-2. Therefore, the next homologue will be C5H8
