What are the isomers of hexane?

Answer by  pz09 (43)

Hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, and 2,3-dimethylbutane are these isomers. They are isomers because they each contain the same atoms and the same number of atoms. Each of the hexane molecules have six carbon atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms. Each of the five isomers have there base carbon atoms arranged uniquely, with hydrogen atoms balancing the Lewis Dot structure of each.

They are: hexane, 2-methyl pentane, 3-methyl pentane, 2,2-dimethyl butane, 2,3-dimethyl butane. Of course, as I am sure you are aware, the difference is in the branching pattern.
