The number of structural isomers for C 6 H 14 is:

The number of structural isomers for C6H14 is:
  1. 4
  2. 5
  3. 6
  4. 3

Solution

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.
