A hydrocarbon X has molecular formula C(...

A hydrocarbon `X` has molecular formula `C_(8)H_(18).` Substitution of a hydrogen of `X` by bromine atom gives one single bromoalkane. Hence, compound `X` is

A

`2,2,3,3-`tetramethylbutane

B

diethyl pentane

C

`2,3,4-` trimethylpentane

D

`2,5-`dimethylhexane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
All hydrogens are equivalent, hence substitution of any of the 18 hydrogens would yield the same,
`1-`bromo`-2,2,3,3-` tetramethyl butane
