HI,
I have been given this list of chemicals and some questions on isomerism and was wondering if anyone could help?id be eternally grateful!!
k the chemicals are:
a)Pentane
b)Butan-1-ol
c)Butan-2-ol
d)2-methylbutane
e)tetrachloromethane
f)trichloromethane
g)ethoxyethane
h)propanoic acid
i)Methyl ethanoate
j)1-bromoethanol
I have to answer:
1) molecules that are positional isomers of eachother
2) three molecules that are all strutural isomers of eachother
3) molecules that are chain isomers of eachother
4) a molecule that is a functional group ismer of butan-1-ol
5)all molecules that can exhibit stereoisomerism
6) one molecule that has an isomer, not shown above, that has exactly the same boiling point.
I have attempted it and havegot the answers:
1) b and c
2) b, c and g
3) a and d
and after that it all gets a lil confusing and i think im thinking too much in depth and the answers are actually easy?..wel im hoping this is the case!!
I anyone could help even a little bit i would be really grateful
thankyou very much x
