Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Whether the above two structures having molecular formula C6H14are isomers of each other or not needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The given structures are isomers if the molecular formula is same, but the arrangement of atoms in the molecule is different.
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of above two structures is C6H14. The structures are given as follows:
In the above structures, it can be seen that molecular formula is same.
The numbering is done as follows:
The name of the first structure is 3-methyl pentane and that of second structure is 3-methyl pentane.
Thus, both the structures are identical and they are not isomers of each other.
Therefore, both the structures are not isomers of each other but they are identical.
