Question
Based on the classification of hydrocarbons, which of the following general formulas are matched correctly with their homologous series?
Answer: A,B,C,D
💡 Solution & Explanation
Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (alkanes) follow $C_n H_{2n+2}$. Alkenes (with one double bond) follow $C_n H_{2n}$. Alkynes (with one triple bond) follow $C_n H_{2n-2}$. Monocyclic benzenoid aromatic hydrocarbons (arenes like benzene, toluene, xylene) have the general formula $C_n H_{2n-6}$.
