Question

look at these two molecular diagrams and think about the features of the compounds.which descriptions apply to these two compounds? check all that apply.are isomers of each otherhave same molecular formulahave same structural formulaare both hydrocarbonshave same number of each kind of atomhave same geometric arrangement of atoms

Explanation:

• Isomers: Compounds with same molecular formula but different structural formula. These two fit as they have same \(C_6H_{14}\) formula but different structures.
• Same molecular formula: Counting \(C\) and \(H\) atoms, both have \(C_6H_{14}\).
• Hydrocarbons: Contain only \(C\) and \(H\), which these do.
• Same number of each kind of atom: Since same molecular formula (\(C_6H_{14}\)), same number of \(C\) and \(H\) atoms.
• Same structural formula: No, their atom - connectivity (branching) is different.
• Same geometric arrangement: No, due to different structural formulas.

Answer:

• are isomers of each other
• have same molecular formula
• are both hydrocarbons
• have same number of each kind of atom
