The homologue of ethyne is
Options
- AC ₂ H ₂
- BC ₂ H ₆
- CC ₃ H ₈
- DC ₃ H ₄
Correct answer
D. C ₃ H ₄
Step-by-step solution
Ethyne is nothing but C ₂ H ₂ ie, acetylene which can be represented by general molecular formula C _n H _ 2 n-2 . Only C ₃ H ₄ tallies with the formula. Hence, C ₃ H ₄ is the homologue of C ₂ H ₂ .
