    Pick out the alkane which differs from the other members of the group:

    A)  2,2-dimethyl propane

    B)  pentane

    C)  2-methyl butane

    D)  2,2-dimethyl butane

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    2, 2-dimethyl butane is 6-carbon hydrocarbon\[({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{14}})\].                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}\] Rest all are the chain isomers of pentane.\[({{C}_{5}}{{H}_{12}})\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  2,\text{ }2-dimethyl\text{ }propane \\  (neo-pentane) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}C-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}},}}\,\]      \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  2-methylbutane \\  (iso-pentane) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}C-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]                                          \[\underset{w-pentane}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
