How many structural isomers can you draw for pentane?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Pentane has three structural isomers. These are as follows:
(i) `underset("n-pentane")(H_2C-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3)`
(ii) `underset("Iso-pentane")(H_3C-underset(CH_3)underset(|)(CH)-CH_2-CH_3)`
(iii) `underset("Neo-pentane")(H_3C-underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)C -CH_3)`
