Embibe Experts Solutions for Chapter: Carbon and its Compounds, Exercise 1: Exercise

The general formula of three compounds $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ is ${\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{H}}_{2\mathrm{n}}$. $\mathrm{B}$ has the highest boiling point and $\mathrm{C}$ has the lowest boiling point.

Name the homologous series to which $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ belong.

Define homologous series of organic compounds. Mention any two characteristics of homologous series.

Why doesn't carbon share four electrons with other $\mathrm{C}$ atom, and exist as ${\mathrm{C}}_2$?
