1.	1. Write the molecuĹar formula of the 2d and the 3'd member of thehomologous series whose first member is methane.
Answer» As the first member is Methane It has the suffix “ane” so this means that the compound is an alkane The 2nd member of the series will be Ethane The general formula for alkane is CnH2n+2 So the n is the number of Carbon atoms. The number of Carbon atoms in Ethane is 2 The formula is C2H6 The 3rd member of the homologous series will have 3 carbon atoms The name of the compound is Propane The formula is C3H8 vgghgzfnbdfngxvngxfnc

1. Write the molecuĹar formula of the 2d and the 3'd member of thehomologous series whose first member is methane.

Answer»

As the first member is Methane

It has the suffix “ane” so this means that the compound is an alkane

The 2nd member of the series will be Ethane

The general formula for alkane is CnH2n+2

So the n is the number of Carbon atoms. The number of Carbon atoms in Ethane is 2

The formula is C2H6

The 3rd member of the homologous series will have 3 carbon atoms

The name of the compound is Propane

The formula is C3H8
