Correct Option: B
The molecular formula C6H14 represents hexane. Hexane can form isomers due to the different ways the carbon atoms can be arranged in the molecule. The isomers of hexane are:
- n-hexane (a straight chain)
- 2-methylpentane
- 3-methylpentane
- 2,2-dimethylbutane
- 2,3-dimethylbutane
Therefore, C6H14 can form 5 isomers.
