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 \[{{\text{C}}_{\text{7}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{16}}}\]v (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) Thus total number of acylic structural and optical isomers \[=10\]
