Question

A hydrocarbon which does not belong to the same homologous series of carbon compounds is

• A. C₄H₁₀
• B. C₆H₁₀
• C. C₇H₁₄
• D. C₁₀H₂₂

Hint:

Alkanes follow the general formula Csubscript{n}Hsubscript{2n+2}, and if a compound does not follow this, it belongs to a different homologous series.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identifying the homologous series.
- C₄H₁₀ belongs to the alkane series.
- C₆H₁₄ also belongs to the alkane series.
- C₇H₁₄ belongs to the alkane series.
- C₁₀H₂₂ is a higher alkane that doesn't belong to the same series.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D) C₁₀H₂₂.
