The cycloalkane homologous series with o...

The cycloalkane homologous series with only one ring consists of hydrocarbons with the general formula……..where the `C-C` bonds form a ring.

A

(1) `C_(n)H_(2n+2)`

B

(2) `C_(n)H_(2n)`

C

(3) `C_(n)H_(2n-2)`

D

(4) `C_(n)H_(2n-4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For example, cyclohexane, `C_(6)H_(12)`. Formula (1) corresponds to alkanes, formula (3) corresponds to cycloalkanes with two rings, and formula (4) corresponds to cycloakanes with three rings.
