Detailed Solution

The general formula of the homologous series from which ethane belongs to is CnH2n+2.
A homologous series is a group of compounds that have the same general formula but differ only in the length of the carbon chain. Compounds in a homologous series frequently share a fixed set of functional groups, resulting in comparable chemical and physical properties. Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon single bond. The compounds of this series are less reactive as they contain single bonds which is difficult to break.
