question_answer

The total number of acyclic structural and optical isomers possible for a hydrocarbon of molecular formula\[{{C}_{7}}{{H}_{16}}\]is

A)  12                                         

B)  8

C)  10                                         

D)  6

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

                The possible acyclic structural and optical isomers  of hydrocarbon having\[{{C}_{7}}{{H}_{16}}\] molecular formula are (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) Thus total number of acylic structural and optical isomers =10
