These are the only isomers I could find. What are the other three ones?
Thanks in advance!

I think you've done most of these wrong. A lot of your isomers have more than 6 hydrogens.

Some of your isomers should have C=C as well so you can also work with E-Z isomerism.

Hope this helps! :getmecoat:

1467126256643256711076.jpg Whoops, now I have got 10 isomers! It says structural isomers, so I do not think that we would include E/Z isomers. Is 8 and 9 the same compound? I am not vrry sure about ethers.

They're both fine. 10 is just propylene oxide (an epoxide) and 7 is trimethylene oxide (a heterocycle).

8 and 9 are the same. You missed a hydrogen in 8.

Oh I see, thank you!
Oh alright, thanks!
