Question

why can't we have isomers of first three members of alkane series??

Answer 1

The first three members of the alkane series can't have isomers because they will have the equivalent structural formula.

Explanation:

• Isomers are the elements of the same 'molecular formula', but 'different structural formulas'. They may has the same formula but their structures are quite different.
• They contain only 1, 2, 3 carbon atoms, it is not possible to have different arrangements of carbon (C) atoms methane, ethane or propane. The parent carbon should contain the huge number of carbon atoms. The branching cannot be occur from either first or last carbon.
