Five structural isomers have the formula C6H14. Where needed, draw the structure and give the IUPAC name of all five isomers. The name and structure for the first isomer, hexane, are given. Hexane is a six carbon chain. There are three hydrogen atoms bonded to the terminal carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms bonded to the remaining four carbon atoms in the chain. Isomer A: hexane A five carbon chain with a methyl substituent bonded to the second carbon in the chain. Isomer B Name isomer B. Isomer C, has the IUPAC name 3‑methylpentane.

Answer: The structures and names are given below.

Explanation:

Isomers are defined as the compounds which have same structural formula but different arrangements of atoms in the compounds. The isomers of the same compound have different chemical properties.

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula [tex]C_6H_{14}[/tex]

This compound has 5 geometrical isomers. The IUPAC name for all the 5 isomers are:

  • Hexane
  • 2-methyl pentane
  • 3-methyl pentane
  • 2,2-dimethyl butane
  • 2,3-dimethyl butane

The structures of all the isomers are attached in the image below.
