Which among the following statement is NOT true about homologous series of organic compounds?

Options

  1. AEach member of a series differs by two carbon atoms and two H atoms from neighbouring member.
  2. BAll members have similar chemical properties.
  3. CAll members of series are represented by same general formula.
  4. DNone of these.

Correct answer

A. Each member of a series differs by two carbon atoms and two H atoms from neighbouring member.

Step-by-step solution
