These are true or false questions...There is only one structure with the formula C5H12?

True or false for the following questions:


Alkane molecules can react together to form addition polymers.


In organic compounds carbon forms 4 covalent bonds.


C3H8 molecules are saturated


There is only one structure with the formula C5H12


There cannot be a molecule with the formula C7H17These are true or false questions...There is only one structure with the formula C5H12?
C5H12 is a 2n+2 type of organic and has more than 1 structure. You write down the 5 carbons in a line, with single bonds and fill in the hydrogens around all the carbons to get pentane; the 2nd possible structure is write down a single Carbon then surround it with 4 more carbons. As you fill in the Hydrogens, you'll see 12 hydrogens on the 4 outer carbons which would be called 2,2 methyl propane.


There is only one structure with the formula C5H12 is False.





Alkane molecules can react together under heat or pressure, so that would be TRUE.





True that C3H8 is saturated.





C7H17 is frequently mistermed as gasoline, but gasoline is a combination of many organics, and True that it can't be a molecule.





You organic chem book will have the answers to the rest of the questions. Fun to read!These are true or false questions...There is only one structure with the formula C5H12?
Upon further research, there are actually 3 possibles, not 2.
