What is the difference between branched and straight chain alkanes?

In a straight-chain alkane, all the carbon atoms can be joined in a continuous chain. In branched-chain alkane, all the carbon atoms cannot be joined in a continuous chain as some of the carbon atoms exist as branches or side chains to the main carbon chain.

Answer 2

How does a branched chain differ from a straight chain?

Many hydrocarbons have branches of C atoms attached to a chain; they are called branched hydrocarbons. These branched alkanes are isomers of straight-chain alkanes having the same number of C atoms. However, they are different compounds with different physical and chemical properties.

have a great day ahead ☺☺
