Research into nuclear fusion will likely require a large investment of time and money before it might be used as an energy source. Which statement best describes the benefits that would make the investment worthwhile? Fusion requires a large amount of energy and occurs in stars. Fusion produces large amounts of energy, and the fuel is found on Earth. Fusion produces no radioactive waste, and the fuel is plentiful. Fusion requires little energy to begin and would continue through a chain reaction.

Which formulas represent compounds that are isomers of each other?H HH-C-H and H C-HH H2 HO-C-H and H C-OHH HH-C-C-C OH and H-C O-C-C-HH HH H HOH HH OH H4 H-C-C-C-H and H C C-HH H

Answers

Answer : The correct option is, (3)

Explanation :

Isomers : It is defined as the molecule that has the same chemical formula but  it has the different structures.

Same chemical formula means that the same number of elements are present in both the compounds.

In option 1,2 and 4, both chemical formula and the structure are different. So, the option 1 compounds are not the isomers of each other.

In option 3, the chemical formula is same but the structure are different. So, the option 3 compounds are the isomers of each other.

Hence, the correct option is, (3)

The answer is number 3
