Compounds with identical molecular formula but different structures are called structural isomers. (a) In the case of saturated hydrocarbons, what is the MINIMUM number of carbon atoms needed in a molecule for it to have a structural isomer? (b) Draw the structural isomers of the saturated hydrocarbon having the minimum number of carbon atoms mentioned in (a).
