Question

Which of the following is NOT a possible isomer of hexane?

• A. 2-methyl pentane
• B. 3-methyl pentane
• C. 2-ethyl pentane
• D. 2,2 dimethyl butane

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 2-ethyl pentane

• 2-ethylpentane is not a structural isomer of hexane because it exceeds the six-carbon chain, while the other options are valid isomers of hexane.

• Hexane is an organic compound, a straight-chain alkane with six carbon atoms with the molecular formula C6H14.
