Write structural formulae and names of any two position and any two chain isomers
Position Isomers: Position isomers are structural isomers that differ in the position of functional groups or substituent atoms on the carbon chain. Here are two examples of position isomers of butanol and their structural formulas:
-
1-Butanol (Butan-1-ol):
- Structural Formula: CH3CH2CH2CH2OH
-
2-Butanol (Butan-2-ol):
- Structural Formula: CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3
Chain Isomers: Chain isomers are structural isomers that differ in the arrangement of the carbon skeleton. Here are two examples of chain isomers of pentane and their structural formulas:
-
N-Pentane:
- Structural Formula: CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3
-
Isopentane (2-Methylbutane):
- Structural Formula: (CH3)2CHCH2CH3
