    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 \[{{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\] i.e., acetylene Which can be represented by general molecular formula \[{{\text{C}}_{\text{n}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2n}-2.}}\]Only \[{{\text{C}}_{\text{3}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\]tallies with the formula. Hence, \[{{\text{C}}_{\text{3}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\]is the homologue of \[{{\text{C}}_{2}}{{\text{H}}_{2}}.\]
