Which of the following will be the next member of the homologous series of hexene?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is Heptene.

•    In a homologous series, each successive member differs from the previous one by a CH₂ unit.
• Hexene (C₆H₁₂​) belongs to the alkene group, characterized by a double bond.
•   The next member in this homologous series would have one additional carbon atom and two additional hydrogen atoms, making it Heptene (C₇H₁₄​).

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

• Pentane (C₅H₁₂​): It is an alkane (single bonds only) and does not belong to the alkene group.
• Pentene (C₅H₁₀): It is an alkene, but it has fewer carbons than hexene, so it cannot be the next member.
• Heptane (C₇H1₆): It is an alkane and does not belong to the alkene homologous series.
