Which shows an isomer of the molecule below?
1 answer:
Above question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.......................................................................................................................
Correct Answer: Option D i.e. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3
Reason:
Isomers are the compounds having same molecular formula, but different structural formula.
The molecular formula of the compound is C5H12
The compound present is question (i.e. 2-methyl butane) and option D (n-pentane) has same molecular formula. Hence, they are isomers.
However, compound present in option A, is the same compound provided in question. Hence, it is not an isomer. Compounds reported in option B and C has one carbon atom less and more, respectively as compared to the compound reported in question. Hence, they are also not isomers.

To get the number of gold atoms, you have to divide the mass of the gold by the mass of the gold atom. It follows this simple equation 
.
Let x be the number of gold atoms. Plug in the values to a calculator.
x =
Both have the same units so the unit gram(g) can be cancelled.
x then would be equal to 1.53x10^22. So there are 1.53x10^22 atoms of gold in 5 g of gold
