Which of the following homologous series does NOT have a functional group?
|
|
Alkanes
|
|
|
Alkenes
|
|
|
Alcohols
|
|
|
Carboxylic acids
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The alkanes are considered a homologous series because they have same functional group but differ in the formula by the addition of CH3 fixed group of atoms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alkanes – Do not have any functional groups. There are only C-C and C-H covalent bonds in the molecule. Alkenes – Contain the carbon-carbon double bond, C=C.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alkanes are organic compounds that consist entirely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and lack any other functional groups.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, C3H4 does not belong to homologous series of alkanes.
