No, 1-hexyne is not an isotope.

Isotopes are same elements that have the same number of protons (and therefore the same chemical properties) but different numbers of neutrons. They have slightly different atomic masses due to the varying number of neutrons in their nuclei.

1-hexyne, on the other hand, is a specific chemical compound. It is an alkyne with the molecular formula C6H10 and a carbon-carbon triple bond at the first position in a hexane chain. Isotopes are not specific chemical compounds, but they are variations of elements.

NO!!! It is an isomer.

Other isomers are 2- hexyne and 3-hexyne.

NB An isotope is an atom with a different number of neutrons.
