Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
B5

Step-by-step explanation

Firstly we calculate DU (Degree of unsaturation) of given molecular formula as :-

DU=C+1-H+X-N2

for C6H14

DU=6+1-142=0

 possibility is for alkanes only.

(PCC stands for parent carbon chain)

 Total structural isomers of C6H14 are 5.
