Chapter 1, Problem 12PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}\text{O}$, there are three constitutional isomers, two of which are propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. A dash formula for the third isomer is to be illustrated.

Concept introduction:

In constitutional isomers, the molecular formula remains the same but the arrangements of groups or atoms in the structure are different.

In dash line formula all the symbol of the atoms and the bonding electron pair lines are shown.
