(a)Give the molecular formula of one homologue of each of the following:
(i) C3H6
(ii) C2H6
(iii) C2H2 (b) What is the difference in the molecular mass of any two adjacent homologues?
(c) By how many carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms do any two adjacent homologues differ?


(a) The molecular formula of one homologue of each is given below:
(i) C4H8   (ii) C3H8     (iii) C3H4.

(b) The difference in the molecular mass of any two adjacent homologues is 14 u.

(c) The two adjacent homologues differ from 1 carbon atom and 2 hydrogen atoms i.e. a CH2 group.
