The molecular formula of the alkane whose number of carbon is 7 is
A
C7H16
B
C7H10
C
C7H12
D
C7H14
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since its alkane and 7 carbons are there, the molecular formula is C7H16 as alkane has general molecular formula as CnH2n+2. Alkane isomers of 7 carbons are: 3-Ethylpentane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heptane or n-heptane is the straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula H3C(CH2)5CH3 or C7H16.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, from these nine structures we can see that out of these, three isomers have quaternary carbons.

Detailed explanation-4: -C7H16 has 9 isomers How many of these isomers have quaternary carbons?

Detailed explanation-5: -There are 9 different isomers of C7H16.
