Question

The ratio of no. of total isomers (all possible) and structural isomers of a compound with molecular formula C5H10 is

Answer 1

The possible number of isomers of pentane is 13.

Explanation:

• C5H10 is a Penatne.
• The possible number of isomers of pentane is 13.
• Isomers mean having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
• These are cyclopentane, methylcyclobutane, ethylcyclopropane, 1,1-dimethylcyclopropane, (R,R)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane or 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane, (S,S)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane or 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane and (R,S)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane or cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane.
• Isomers are the structure of the same compound with a functional or alkyl group attached at a different position on the same chain of the alkane, alkene, or alkyne.
