Which of the following pairs of molecular formulas represent compounds that have the exact SAME Degr — Isomerism and Stereochemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Option A: Benzene ($C_6H_6$) has DU = 4. Toluene ($C_7H_8$) has DU = $7+1 - 8/2 = 4$. Option C: $C_3H_6O$ has DU = $3+1 - 6/2 = 1$ (oxygen is ignored). $C_3H_6$ has DU = $3+1 - 6/2 = 1$. Option D: $C_6H_{14}$ has DU = 0. $C_2H_4Cl_2$ has DU = $2+1 - 6/2 = 0$. Option B is incorrect: $C_5H_{10}$ has DU = 1, while $C_4H_6$ has DU = 2.
