Write the structure of different isomeric alkanes corresponding to the molecular formula `C_(6)H_(14)`. Also give their `IUPAC` names. Strategy: Start with the longest contionous chain with no branching and go on increasing the number of branching by removing one, two, etc, `C` atoms from the longest chain and reattaching them, but do not attach them to the terminal `C` atoms. |
