MHT CET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Step-by-step solution

The molecular formula of hexane is C_6H_ 14 . The possible structural isomers are: 1. CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3 (n-hexane) 2. CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3 (2-methylpentane) 3. CH_3-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-CH_3 (3-methylpentane) 4. CH_3-C(CH_3)_2-CH_2-CH_3 (2,2-dimethylbutane) 5. CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 (2,3-dimethylbutane) Thus, there are five structural isomers possible for hexane. Answer: Five
