The correct Answer is:
To determine which pairs of compounds represent homologous series, we need to understand the definition of a homologous series. A homologous series is a group of compounds that have the same functional group and similar chemical properties, differing from each other by a constant unit, typically a -CH2- group. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Homologous Series**: - A homologous series consists of compounds that share the same functional group and differ by a -CH2- unit. - The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - We need to evaluate each option to see if they fit the criteria of a homologous series. 3. **Option A**: - Compounds: One has an OH group (alcohol) and the other has a CH2OH group. - Analysis: The functional groups are different (one is a primary alcohol and the other is a phenolic compound). Thus, they do not form a homologous series. 4. **Option B**: - Compounds: One is CH3OH (methanol) and the other is CH3CH2CH2OH (butanol). - Analysis: Both compounds have the same functional group (alcohol) and differ by a -CH2- unit. Therefore, this is a correct pair of homologous compounds. 5. **Option C**: - Compounds: Both have ester functional groups (RCOOR). - Analysis: If one compound is RCOOR and the other is RCOOCH2R, they differ by a -CH2- unit while maintaining the same functional group. Hence, this is also a correct pair of homologous compounds. 6. **Option D**: - Compounds: One is CH3CH2NH2 (ethylamine) and the other is CH3CH2N(CH3)H. - Analysis: Although there is an increase in the number of methyl groups, the functional groups are different (primary amine vs. secondary amine). Therefore, they do not form a homologous series. ### Conclusion: The correct pairs of homologous compounds are **Option B** and **Option C**.
