Replace one atom in CH3CH2Br by another Br atom to form a model of a compound with the formula C2H4Br2. Draw projection drawings and perspective drawings of all possible isomers.  Does replacing different hydrogen atoms in CH3CH2Br to produce C2H4Br2 give different isomers? (i.e. Are all the hydrogen atoms equivalent?) If there are multiple isomers, what type of isomerism do they represent?
