The minimum number of carbon atoms to show chain isomerism is 4.
Explanation:
- The isomerism in any organic compound needs to have at least a total number of 4 carbon atoms.
- Chain isomerism occurs when the structures of the compound are very varied for the similar molecular formula.
- The carbon chain in each different isomer has a differing shape. In every example of a chain isomer like pentane, methyl butane or 2,2-dimethylpropane, each of the isomer contains at least 4 or more than 4 carbon atoms.
- All of the mentioned compounds contain a total amount of 5 carbon atoms.
