Question

Which one of the following statements is incorrect, in case of homologous series of alkanes, (A) The members of the series are isomers of each other (B) The members of the series have similar chemical properties (C) The members of the series have the general formula CnH2 n + 2 , where n is an integer (D) The difference between any two successive members of the series corresponds to 14 unit of relative atomic mass

The difference between any two successive members of the homologous series -CH2- i.e., the molecular weight of every two adjacent members differ by 14. (.CH2= text12+2= text14.)

Q. Which one of the following statements is incorrect, in case of homologous series of alkanes,

The members of the series are isomers of each other

The members of the series have similar chemical properties

The members of the series have the general formula $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}$ , where n is an integer

The difference between any two successive members of the series corresponds to 14 unit of relative atomic mass

The difference between any two successive members of the homologous series $- C H_{2} -$ i.e., the molecular weight of every two adjacent members differ by 14.

$(C H_{2} = 12 + 2 = 14)$
