Question

A hydrocarbon with 3 carbons cannot form a branched compound.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

For forming a branched compound, a minimum of 4 carbons are required.
For example, you take a 3 carbon compound, the structure will be
C - C - C
If you remove one of the carbons and place it on the second carbon, it will still be the same.
But for a 4- carbon compound, the following branches are possible.
