Question

What are isomers why can't we have isomers of the first three members of alkane series draw the possible

Answer 1

Heya mate we can not have isomers on the first 3 series of alkane because only on 3 cabon molecule we cannot form any form of isomers. As position isomer is not possible in Alkane and chain isomer starts from 4th member of alkane forming iso-butane as the first isomer.

Hope it helps ❤❤❤❤

Answer 2

Hello Vishwajeet

if two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural formula or the relative arrangement of different substitutes with respect to one another are different,they arere known as isomers and the phenomenon exhibited by them is known as isomerism.

for the 1st 3 members of the alkane series,there are only maximum 3 carbon atoms...so chain isomerism is not possible and since they are alkanes,here is no question of position isomerism.

we start having chain isomerism of alkanes from butane... and they arere n-butane(or normal butane) aand iso-butane

plz dnt mind certain spepelling errors.. hope it helps
