Question

There are seven isomeric alkynes with the formula${\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{6}}{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{10}}$ . Draw and name them.

Short answer

Isomers are the molecules with identical molecular formula but differ in the arrangements of atoms in space.

When atoms assume different configuration, the phenomena is termed as isomerisation.

Isomers

Isomers are the molecules with identical molecular formula but differ in the arrangements of atoms in space.

When atoms assume different configuration, the phenomena is termed as isomerisation.

Isomer of C6H10

Isomers of ${\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{10}$are given below. As you can see, the compounds have the same molecular formula, and the only difference is in their structure—that is by changing the position of the triple bond as shown.
