Conversion of straight chain hydrocarbons into branched chain is called:
Correct answer: A. Reforming
- A. Reforming
- B. Cracking
- C. Annealing
- D. Pickling
Explanation
The process of converting straight-chain alkanes into their branched-chain isomers is specifically called isomerization. Reforming is a broader term that includes isomerization as well as other reactions like cyclization and aromatization.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
