Question

You are given balls and stick model of six carbon atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms and sufficient number of sticks .In how many ways one can join the models of C6H14

Answer 1

There are three ways to join the models of six carbon atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms to form different molecules of C6H14  

First way is straight chain of carbon atoms

Second way is branched chain of carbon atoms

Third way is closed chain of carbon atoms.

Isomers of C6H14 are shown below. We can arrange the number of C atoms as follows:

1. Hexane
2. 2-methyl pentane
3. 3-methyl pentane
4. 2,2-dimethylbutane
5. 2,3-dimethyl butane
