At least 22 if you include cyclic compounds (cyclopentane, cyclobutane and cyclopropane) norborane, etc.
In an alkane the number of hydrogen atoms is two greater than twice the number of carbon atoms. If we reverse this rule, we find that the number of carbon atoms is one less than half the number of hydrogen atoms. 32/2=16 16-1=15 So our alkane would have 15 carbon atoms. This alkane would be pentadecane or one of its isomers.
The formula for an alkane with four carbon atoms is C₄H₁₀. This alkane is named butane.
Then the acyclic alkane hydrocarbon contains 2n+2 hydrogen atoms.
An alkane with six carbon atoms would be hexane (C6H14). Since each carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms in an alkane, you would have 6 carbon atoms x 2 hydrogen atoms per carbon = 12 hydrogen atoms.
The shortest-chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism is butane (C4H10). Butane can exhibit two structural isomers: n-butane and isobutane, which differ in the arrangement of carbon atoms in the chain.

To have over 62 trillion isomers, the alkane chain would need to have at least 19 carbon atoms. This is because each additional carbon atom would introduce a new branching possibility, leading to an exponential increase in the number of isomers.
Over 4000 (the exact number is 4347). You'll excuse me for not listing them.

An alkane.
A cyclic alkane with 6 carbon atoms (C6) follows the general formula CnH2n, where n is the number of carbon atoms. For n = 6, the formula gives us H = 2(6) = 12. Therefore, a cyclic alkane with 6 carbon atoms contains 12 hydrogen atoms.
A non cyclic alkane always has a number of hydrogen atoms equal to 2c + 2, where c is the number of carbon atoms. Therefore, hexadecane, an alkane with 16 carbon atoms, will have 34 hydrogen atoms.
An alkane with six carbon atoms would be hexane (C6H14). Since each carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms in an alkane, you would have 6 carbon atoms x 2 hydrogen atoms per carbon = 12 hydrogen atoms.
The shortest-chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism is butane (C4H10). Butane can exhibit two structural isomers: n-butane and isobutane, which differ in the arrangement of carbon atoms in the chain.
The general formula of linear alkanes is CnH2n+2. If an alkane with 125 carbons exist (I don't know) the chemical formula will be C125H252 and the name pentacosehectane.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
