MCQ
Successive members of homologous series differ from one another in their mass by:
  • A
    $10$ units
  • B
    $15$ units
  • C
    $20$ units
  • $14$ units

Answer

Correct option: D.
$14$ units
A series of organic compounds with the same general formula but differ from adjacent members by $\ce{"−CH_2v−"}$ group are referred to as homologous series of compounds. Successive members of homologous series differ from one another in their mass by $14$ units.
For example: $\ce{CH_4}$​ and $\ce{C_2​H_6}$​ are homologous series. Its molar mass is 16 and 30gm/mole respectively.
Hence, it is differed by unit $14$.
