Answer:
(B) 5 is the correct option.
Explanation:
Structural isomerism occurs when the organic compound has the same molecular formula but differ in the order of the arrangement of the atoms. There are three types of structural isomerism, chain isomerism, position isomerism, and functional group isomerism.
Hexane (C6H14) has five isomers. The five isomers are n-hexane, 2-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, 3-methylpentane, and 2,3-dimethylbutane.
