Vedclass · Answer

(C) Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) exhibit chain isomerism due to the difference in the arrangement of carbon atoms in the chain.This occurs because of the $(C)$ formation of branches in the chain of $C$ atoms.For example,$n$-butane $(	ext{CH}_3-	ext{CH}_2-	ext{CH}_2-	ext{CH}_3)$ and isobutane $(	ext{CH}_3-	ext{CH}(	ext{CH}_3)-	ext{CH}_3)$ are isomers.
