    The homologue of ethyne is :

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]                   

    B)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{8}}\]                   

    D)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Ethyne is the member of alkyne series whose general formula is \[{{C}_{n}}{{H}_{2n-2}}\] In \[{{C}_{n}}{{H}_{2n-2}}n=\] no. of atoms as 1, 2, 3... If \[n=2,\] then \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2\times 2-2}}\] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\,\text{Ethyne}\]                 If \[n=3,\]then                                 \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{2\times 3-2}}\] \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6-2}}\] \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}\,\text{Propyne}\] So, the next member or homologue of ethyne is propyne \[({{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}).\]
