Q. The number of isomeric hexanes is:

KEAMKEAM 2003

Solution:

Number of isomers in hexane are 5 as follows. $ C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}} $ $ C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}} $ $ C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}} $ $ C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} C{{H}_{3}} \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,}}\,C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} C{{H}_{3}} \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}} $
