|
|
2, 2-dimethyl butane
|
|
|
2-methyl butane
|
|
|
1-methyl propane
|
|
|
1-methyl pentane
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Solution: The type of constitutional isomerism that exists between n-pentane and 2-methyl butane is chain isomerism.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hydrocarbon 2-methyl butane is an isomer of n-pentane.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, butane and 2-methyl propane exhibit chain isomerism.
Detailed explanation-4: -Isopentane, C5H12, also called methylbutane.in butane a methyl branch is in the second position of the butane is called methylbutane, it is also called 2-methylbutane.
Detailed explanation-5: -Pentane has three structural isomers that are n-pentane, Iso-pentane (methyl butane), and neopentane (dimethylpropane).
