Which of the following does not belong to the same homologous series ?

A

`CH_(4)`

B

`C_(2)H_(6)`

C

`C_(3)H_(8)`

D

`C_(4)H_(8)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

D

Because succesive members of a homologous series differ by `-CH_(3)` unit

Thus, `C_(4)H_(10)` is the next member of this series
So, homologous series of alkanes is
Methane `CH_(4)`,
Ethane `C_(2)H_(6)`,
Propane `C_(3)H_(8)`,
Butane `C_(4)H_(10)`
So, `C_(4)H_(8)` does not belong to the homologous series.
