    The homologue of ethyne is

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

    B)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}\]

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

    D)  \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The successive members of a homologous series differ by \[aC{{H}_{2}}\]group or by \[12+2\times 1=14\]mass unit. Hence, the homologue of\[HC\equiv CH\](ethyne, \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}})\]is\[C{{H}_{3}}-C\equiv CH\](propyne,\[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}\]).
