isnt c6h14 and hexane the same????
2007-02-13 19:44:27 · update #1
hexane
2-methyl pentane
3-methyl pentane
2,2-dimethyl butane
2,3 dimethyl butane
And that's it.

Try drawing them out. Octane has a total of 18 isomers - 7 of them have hexane as the longest carbon chain. First try placing an ethyl on one of the carbons in the hexane chain and see how many possible constitutional arrangements are possible.(Only one possible - on carbon 3) Then work with 2 methyl groups - try placing them on the hexane chain and see how many different combinations are possible. Here they are: 3-Ethylhexane 2,2-Dimethylhexane 2,3-Dimethylhexane 2,4-Dimethylhexane 2,5-Dimethylhexane 3,3-Dimethylhexane 3,4-Dimethylhexane

2,3-dimethylhexane 2,4-dimethylhexane 2,5-dimethylhexane 3,4-dimethylhexane Make sure each name has the lowest possible number prefixes. For example, 4,5-dimethylhexane is an incorrect name for 2,3-dimethylhexane, and should not be counted. Both methyl groups can be on the same carbon: 2,2-dimethylhexane 3,3-dimethylhexane There is only one possiblity for an ethyl substituent--the 3 position. The two position does not work, as it would create a heptyl chain. 3-ethylhexane.

i am not writing the H. assume it. will be giving the various positons of the carbon atoms. also look for the largest chain, it need not be in a straight line, but continous and non repeating.
something like a square with one side gone, or more complex shapes, a hexagon with one side missing etc etc

are you talking about hexane or the formula C6H14?
