    The homologue of ethyne is

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

    B)        \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

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

    D)        \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Ethyne is nothing but\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\,\,ie,\] acetylene which can be represented by general molecular formula\[{{C}_{n}}{{H}_{2n-2}}\]. Only \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}\] tallies with the formula. Hence, \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}\] is the homologue of\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}.\]
