Answer : The succeeding homologue of propanal CH_3CH_2CH_2OH is, butanal CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH

Explanation :

Homologous series : It is defined as a series of compounds with the same functional group and have the similar chemical properties but the only difference is that the members of the series differ by the number of repeating units. The repeating unit can be the length of the carbon chain.

That means in the given compound, the repeating unit is CH_2. So, the homologue of propanal is butanal.

Hence, the succeeding homologue of propanal CH_3CH_2CH_2OH is, butanal CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH
