Question

A hydrocarbon which does not belong to the same homologous series of carbon compounds is

• A. C₄H₁₀
• B. C₆H₁₀
• C. C₇H₁₄
• D. C₁₀H₂₂

Hint:

Alkanes follow the general formula Csubscript{n}Hsubscript{2n+2}, and if a compound does not follow this, it belongs to a different homologous series.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Series Identification.
- C₄H₁₀ is an alkane.
- C₆H₁₄ is an alkane.
- C₇H₁₄ is an alkane.
- C₁₀H₂₂ does not belong to the alkane series.
Step 2: Answer.
The correct choice is option (D) C₁₀H₂₂.
