The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statements about structural isomers are correct, we will analyze each molecular formula provided and determine the number of structural isomers for each. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Structural Isomers**: - Structural isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms. 2. **Analyzing C3H8 (Propane)**: - The molecular formula C3H8 corresponds to propane. - The only structural isomer for C3H8 is straight-chain propane itself (CH3-CH2-CH3). - Therefore, the number of structural isomers for C3H8 is **1**. - **Conclusion**: The statement regarding C3H8 is incorrect. 3. **Analyzing C5H12 (Pentane)**: - The molecular formula C5H12 corresponds to pentane. - The structural isomers for C5H12 include: 1. **n-pentane** (CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3) 2. **Isopentane** (2-methylbutane) 3. **Neopentane** (2,2-dimethylpropane) - Therefore, the number of structural isomers for C5H12 is **3**. - **Conclusion**: The statement regarding C5H12 is correct. 4. **Analyzing C6H14 (Hexane)**: - The molecular formula C6H14 corresponds to hexane. - The structural isomers for C6H14 include: 1. **n-hexane** 2. **2-methylpentane** 3. **3-methylpentane** 4. **2,2-dimethylbutane** 5. **2,3-dimethylbutane** 6. **3,3-dimethylbutane** - Therefore, the number of structural isomers for C6H14 is **5**. - **Conclusion**: The statement regarding C6H14 is correct. 5. **Analyzing Benzene Derivatives**: - For a benzene ring with two substituents (e.g., bromine and chlorine), the possible structural isomers are: 1. **Ortho (1,2-)** 2. **Meta (1,3-)** 3. **Para (1,4-)** - Therefore, the number of structural isomers for a benzene ring with two different substituents is **3**. - **Conclusion**: The statement regarding benzene derivatives is correct. ### Final Summary: - The correct statements are: - The number of structural isomers for C5H12 is 3. - The number of structural isomers for C6H14 is 5. - The number of benzene ring containing structural isomers is 3. Thus, the correct statements are the ones regarding C5H12, C6H14, and benzene derivatives.
