• 9

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

\[\ce{H3C - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3}\]; n - hexane

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{H3C - CH2 - CH2 - CH - CH3}\\
\phantom{............}|\\
\phantom{..............}\ce{CH3}
\end{array}\]: 2 - methyl pentane

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{H3C - CH2 - CH - CH2 - CH3}\\
|\phantom{..}\\
\ce{CH3}\end{array}\] : 3 - methyl pentane

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3}\phantom{......}\\
|\phantom{........}\\
\ce{H3C - C - CH2 - CH3}\\
|\phantom{........}\\
\ce{CH3}\phantom{.....}\end{array}\] : 2, 2 - dimethyl butane

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{H3C - CH - CH - CH3}\\
|\phantom{......}|\phantom{..}\\
\phantom{.}\ce{CH3}\phantom{...}\ce{CH3}\end{array}\] : 2, 3 - dimethyl butane

Total 5 chain isomers are possible for hexane.
