Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The representation should be determined which doesn't represent isopentane
(2-methylbutane).
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms.
Saturated hydrocarbon is known as
The compounds having similar chemical formula but different structures are known as isomers.
