Number of chain isomers of C6H14 is:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 5
There are total 5 chain isomers.
Now, as we know what is chain isomerism.
Let's try to draw isomers (chain) of C6H14
CH3−CH2−CH2−CH2−CH2−CH3
n-Hexane
Now, with one substituent
CH3−CH3|CH−CH2−CH2−CH3
(2 - Methyl pentane)
Now, substituent at different carbon
CH3−CH2−CH|CH3−CH2−CH3
(3-Methyl pentane)
→ Now with two substituent
CH3−CH3|CH−CH|CH3−CH3
(2, 3 - dimethyl butane)
→ Now at same position
CH3−CH3|C|CH3−CH2−CH3
(2, 2 - Dimethyl butane)
Therefore, there are total 5 chain isomers.
