Q. The homologue of ethyne is:

EAMCETEAMCET 2006

Solution:

Ethyne is nothing but $ {{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}} $ i.e., acetylene Which can be represented by general molecular formula $ {{\text{C}}_{\text{n}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2n}-2.}} $ Only $ {{\text{C}}_{\text{3}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}} $ tallies with the formula. Hence, $ {{\text{C}}_{\text{3}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}} $ is the homologue of $ {{\text{C}}_{2}}{{\text{H}}_{2}}. $
