Q.

Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions from (i) to (v):

The ability of carbon to form chains gives rise to a homologous series of compounds in which the same functional group is attached to carbon chains of different lengths. It is hard to remember every compound. To remember compounds easily, we classify them in groups as per their functional groups. A series in which compounds with the same functional group are arranged is a homologous series. All the members of a homologous series can be found by a general formula. The consecutive members of a homologous series differ by CH2 group.

 

(i) Subsequent members of homologous series differ by how many atomic mass units

1 14  
2 16  
3 24  
4 28
