Vedclass · Answer

(A) homologous series is a group of organic compounds having the same functional group and similar chemical properties,where each successive member differs by a $CH_2$ unit.Compounds with the general formula $C_nH_{2n+2}$ belong to the alkane series.Checking the given options:$B) C_2H_6$ follows $C_nH_{2n+2}$ ($n=2$,$2(2)+2=6$).$C) C_3H_8$ follows $C_nH_{2n+2}$ ($n=3$,$2(3)+2=8$).$D) CH_4$ follows $C_nH_{2n+2}$ ($n=1$,$2(1)+2=4$).$A) C_4H_8$ follows the general formula $C_nH_{2n}$,which represents the alkene series.Therefore,$C_4H_8$ does not belong to the same homologous series as the others.
