What will be the next homologous series member of compound C_6 H_10?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d)

A homologous series is a group of organic compounds with a similar general formula where each successive member differs by aCH₂ (methylene group).

• C₆H₁₀ represents an unsaturated hydrocarbon, which could either be:
• Alkyne (CnH₂n₋₂) → e.g., hex-1-yne.
• Cycloalkene (CnH₂n₋₂) → e.g., cyclohexene.

The next member in the homologous series is obtained by adding a CH₂ group to the carbon chain, which increases the molecular formula.

Next Member:

• Add CH₂ to C₆H₁₀:
• C₆H₁₀ → C₇H₁₂
