The true statement about 2-methylpropane and butane is: B. They are members of the same homologous series. Both compounds have the molecular formula C4H10 and are structural isomers, meaning they share the same molecular formula but have different spatial arrangements of the atoms within their molecules. While n-butane is a straight-chain alkane, 2-methylpropane (isobutane) is a branched-chain alkane. Despite belonging to the same homologous series of alkanes, they have different chemical properties and different boiling points due to their structural differences.
