Question :
_____________________
Write the Structural formulae of all the isomers of hexane ?
_____________________
Answers
Answer :
In the attachment .
Explanation :
➡ First draw a normal hexane with six carbon as hex means six.
➡ Then attach the hydrogen to each such that every carbon is satisfied with 4 covalent bonds.
➡ As shown in the figure , draw a normal hexane .
➡ Next thing is to cut out the carbon at the extreme end .
➡ Take that carbon to any other position other than the opposite end.
➡ This will form isomers of hexane.
➡ Note that there will be 5 isomers of hexane as the rotation can be done only 4 times and one isomer is normal hexane .
ISOMERS
➡Normal hexane .
➡ 2-methyl pentane .
➡ 3-methyl pentane .
➡ 2,3 -dimethyl butane
➡ 2,2 -dimethyl butane
IMPORTANT NOTE :
Why no 4 - methyl pentane ?
4-methyl pentane is the same as 3-methyl pentane .
Why no 5 - methyl pentane ?
5 - methyl pentane is the same as 2 - methyl pentane.
