Transcribed Image Text:The image displays six chemical structures of various organic compounds containing halogens. Here's a detailed description of each structure from left to right:
1. **1-Chlorobutane**: A straight-chain alkane with four carbon atoms and a chlorine atom attached to the terminal carbon.
2. **2-Chlorobutane**: A straight-chain alkane with four carbon atoms, where the chlorine atom is attached to the second carbon.
3. **3-Chloropropene (Allyl Chloride)**: A three-carbon chain with a double bond between the first and second carbon and a chlorine atom attached to the third carbon.
4. **2-Chloro-2-methylpropane (tert-Butyl Chloride)**: A branched alkane with three carbon atoms forming the main chain and an additional methyl group on the second carbon, which also bears a chlorine atom.
5. **1-Chloropropane**: A straight-chain alkane with three carbon atoms and a chlorine atom attached to the terminal carbon.
6. **2-Bromopropane**: A straight-chain alkane with three carbon atoms, where a bromine atom is attached to the second carbon instead of chlorine.
Each structure illustrates the position and type of halogen atom (chlorine or bromine) bonded to the carbon atoms, which is crucial for understanding the functional properties and reactivity of these compounds.
