Which of these molecules is not an isomer of hexene?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer can be determined by first understanding what constitutes an isomer. Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. As all answer choices have names ending with "-ene," we know that they all have the same molecular formula of C6H12. Therefore, the answer can be determined by examining the differences in structural formulas between the answer choices. Comparing answer choices A, B, C, and D, we can see that answer choice D has an -OH group attached to one of the carbons, whereas the other answer choices do not. This structural difference makes answer choice D not an isomer of hexene, as it does not have the same structural formula as the other answer choices.
