Question:
The homologous series in the following is:
The homologous series in the following is:
Show Hint
Alkanes follow the general formula {\( C_nH_{2n+2} \)}.
Updated On: Nov 5, 2025
- \( C_2H_4, CH_4 \)
- \( CH_4, C_2H_6 \)
- \( C_2H_6, CH_3OH \)
- \( C_2H_4, C_2H_2 \)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A homologous series is a group of compounds with the same functional group and general formula. Methane (\( CH_4 \)) and Ethane (\( C_2H_6 \)) belong to the alkane series, differing by a \( CH_2 \) group.
