Answer
(a) A and F
(b) C and E
(c) C2H5OH C2H4 ↑ + H2O
Reason
(a) Butene (C4H8) and Ethene (C2H4) are members of homologous series of alkenes and are not isomers.
(b) Both C and E have the same molecular formula (C4H10) but different structure. C is n-butane and E is iso-butane.
(c) Ethene (C2H4) can be prepared by the dehydration of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH).
