(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Functional group present in the given compound has to be identified and an isomer of the given compound with a different functional group has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Isomerism: Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula with different arrangements of atoms.

  • • Structural isomers: They have same molecular formula but different bonding arrangements of atoms.
  • • Stereoisomers: They differ in their spatial arrangement of atoms.

Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules that determine the properties of the molecules and characteristic reactions taking place in it.

Ether: Ether is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by an oxygen atom. It is represented as ROR'.

Alcohol: It is an organic compound where it contains at least one OH group. It is represented as ROH.

Aldehyde: One alkyl group or hydrogen and a hydrogen atom are attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCHO.

Ketone: Ketone is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by a carbonyl group. It is represented as RC(=O)R'.

7. Functional isomers have unique functional groups but identical reactivity.  true or false?
3. Name each of these compounds (including isomer prefixes) and identify the functional groups present. a. H CH CH₂CH/ CH₂ Br b. H CH H El CHS
Constitutional isomers are compounds which have the same molecular formula but different structural formulae. They are different compounds with different physical and chemical properties.a. Rearrange your model of n-hexane to make as many possible isomers of C6H14 as you can. Draw the structural formula and write down the IUPAC name for each isomer that you make.b. Constitutional isomers can also have different functional groups. Make all possible isomers of C3H8O. Write down the structural formulae and IUPAC names for all the compounds you make. Hint: Consider alcohol and ether functional groups.
