Question

In the case homologous series of alkanes, which one of the following statements is incorrect

• A. The members of the series are isomers of each other
• B. The members of the series have similar chemical properties
• C. The members of the series have the general formula $C_{n}H{2}_{n+2}$ where n is an integer
• D. The difference between any two successive members of the series corresponds to 14 unit of relative atomic mass

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The members of the series are isomers of each other

The difference between any two successive members of the homologous series -CH2-i.e., the molecular weight of every two adjacent members differ by 14.

$(C{H}_2=12+2=14)$
