Question

Question: Number of structural isomers for C$_{6}$H$_{14}$ = 5...

Number of structural isomers for C6_{6}H14_{14} = 5

A

Hexane

B

2-Methylpentane

C

3-Methylpentane

D

2,3-Dimethylbutane

E

2,2-Dimethylbutane

Answer

5

Explanation

Solution

For the molecular formula C₆H₁₄ (an alkane), the possible structural isomers are obtained by varying the carbon chain. The isomers are:

  1. Hexane

  2. 2-Methylpentane

  3. 3-Methylpentane

  4. 2,3-Dimethylbutane

  5. 2,2-Dimethylbutane

Thus, there are 5 structural isomers.
