Answer:
Alkanes with more than 3 carbons can show constitutional isomerism. They can be either linear or branched structures. This is categorized as chain isomerism. Butane is the smallest alkane to show such isomerism with 2 isomers.Alkanes with more than 3 carbons can show constitutional isomerism. They can be either linear or branched structures.

Explanation:
Its known as covalently bonded atoms
G(2)=2
For this, you can plug in 2 everywhere you see an n. So the equation will read:
g(2)=g(2-1)+2 -> g(2)=g(1)+2. Since we are given g(1)=0, we can plug in 0 where we see g(1). The equation is now. g(2)=0+2. So, g(2)=2.
Benzaldehyde or C6H5CHO would not undergo the aldol condensation because it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen in its structure. Aldol condensation is a type of reaction that happens between an enolate and an aldehyde or ketone leading to a alkene that has a planar structure. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen would not allow for it to undergo such process since it cannot enolize. Benzaldehyde undergoes a nucleophilic reaction known as Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It has somehow same mechanism of the aldol reaction however, the nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl happens even without the alpha-hydrogen but with an enolate that is from a ketone.
