AI Generated Solution

To determine the number of chain isomers of pentane, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Structure of Pentane Pentane is an alkane with the molecular formula C5H12. It consists of 5 carbon atoms connected in a chain, and since it is an alkane, it follows the general formula CnH2n+2. ### Step 2: Identify the Possible Chain Isomers Chain isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of the carbon skeleton. For pentane, we need to identify how the carbon atoms can be arranged differently. ...
