Question

Molecule of C13h28 with shortest possible parent carbon chain is A) 5 B) 6 C) 7 D) 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

The shortest possible carbon chain in the isomer of tridecane will be five.

Explanation:

There are about 802 isomers of given alkane tridecane $C_{13}H_{28}$.

The chain length can be as long as 13 carbons while the shortest carbon parent chain will have five carbon.

There can be again five isomers with five carbons as parent chain.

The structures are shown in the figure.

The names are:

3,3-diethyl-2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane

2,2,3,4,4-pentamethyl-3-(propan-2-yl)pentane

3-ethyl-2,2,4-trimethyl-3-(propan-2-yl)pentane

2,4-dimethyl-3,3-di(propan-2-yl)pentane

3-tert-butyl-2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane
