Question

Match the given compounds with their respective chain isomer.

• A. 3,4-Dimethylbutane
• B. 2,2-Dimethylpropane
• C. 2-Methylpropane

Answer 1

Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structures. 3,4-dimethylbutane is $C_6{H}_{14}$, which is same as hexane. Similarly, 2,2-dimethylpropane is $C_5{H}_{12}$, same as pentane and 2-methylpropane is $C_4{H}_{10}$, same as butane.
