Correct option is A
The correct homologous class of alkanes is: (a) CH4, C2H6, C3H8, C4H10
Information Booster:
- Alkanes belong to a homologous series, which means they follow a general formula and have similar chemical properties.
- The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2.
- CH4 (methane), C2H6 (ethane), C3H8 (propane), and C4H10 (butane) all follow this pattern.
- The other options, while including alkenes or other hydrocarbons, do not form a homologous series of alkanes.
