The series is 10,11, 101, 1000, ....or, the binary representation  of the  Fibonacci Series
The next term would be 10101, or three elements and two states alternating:

C+OR+Re+CT+S: Carbon(C), Oregon(Or), Rhenium,(Re) Connecticut(Ct), Sulfur(S).
So, CORRECTS is the required word that best fits the next in the sequence.
