To determine how many of the given compounds belong to the same homologous series, we first need to understand what a homologous series is. A homologous series is a group of organic compounds that have the same functional group and similar chemical properties, but differ by a constant unit, typically a -CH2- group. Let's analyze the given compounds one by one: 1. **CH₂O₂**: This compound can be identified as an aldehyde or a carboxylic acid. It has 1 carbon atom. 2. **C₃H₈O**: This compound is an alcohol or ether. It has 3 carbon atoms. 3. **C₂H₄O₂**: This compound is acetic acid (a carboxylic acid). It has 2 carbon atoms. 4. **C₂H₆**: This compound is ethane, an alkane. It has 2 carbon atoms. ...
