Q. The number of isomeric hexanes is
A) 5
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
Explanation
(a)
Number of isomers in hexane are five as follows
$CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - CH_{3}$
$CH_{2} - CH - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - CH_{3}$
|
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}$
$CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH - CH_{2} - CH_{3}$
|
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}$
| |
$CH_{3} - C - CH_{3}\ \ \ \ CH_{3} - \ C - CH_{2} - CH_{3}$
| |
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{2}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}\ \$
|
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}$
