3- methyl Hexane is CH3 - CH 2 - CH2 underset overset* overset underset|CH3CH - CH-2 CH3 C *= Chiral carbon atom (due to which it is optically active)

Q. Which of the following alkanes is optically active?

3-Methyl hexane

Propane

2, 3, 4-Trimethyl pentane

2-Methyl butane.

$3 -$ methyl Hexane is

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} * C ∣ C H_{3} H - C H - 2 C H_{3}$

$C^{*} =$ Chiral carbon atom (due to which it is optically active)
