Answer Key

Question 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Answer 1 3 1 3 2 1 2 1

SOLUTIONS DPP-01

1. CH3 – CH2 – CH = CH2

P·C·C = 4
and
CH3 – C = CH2

CH3
P.C.C = 3
 They are chain isomers

2. Minimum carbons required for chain isomerism in alkanes are 4

Example: CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3
P·C·C = 4
and
CH3 – CH – CH3

CH3
P·C·C =3
Minimum carbons required for position isomerism in Alkanes are 6.
Example:
1 2 3 4 5
CH3 – CH–CH2–CH2–CH3

CH3
and
1 2 3 4 5
CH3 – CH2–CH–CH2–CH3

CH3

3. C5H12 can never exhibit position isomerism as minimum number of carbon atoms required by alkane to show
position isomerism is 6.

4. For two compounds to be isomers of each other, the essential condition is that they must have same
molecular formula.

5. D.U. = No. of rings + No. of  bonds

D.U. = 1 + 2
=3

6. D.U. = no. of rings + No. of  bonds

 D.U. = 1 + 3
=4
