Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The constitution isomer for the given compound has to be found by using its molecular formula C2H5Cl.

Concept introduction: The arrangement of atoms that are bonded together determines its constitution and molecular formula of that particular compound.

This concept is referred as structural isomers or in more modern term constitutional isomers.

Each atom has a typical valency or valence which is defined as the ability of an atom to form a chemical bond with other atoms.  For example, carbon has four valence or tetravalent that means carbon has the capacity to form four bonds with other elements or other atoms.

Nitrogen and oxygen atoms are trivalent and divalent respectively.  Hydrogen and halogens are monovalent in nature.

To find: The constitutional isomer for the compound C2H5Cl

Predict the major products of the following organic reaction: NC Δ ? Some important Notes: • Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below. • If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead. • Be sure to draw bonds carefully to show important geometric relationships between substituents. Note: if your answer contains a complicated ring structure, you must use one of the molecular fragment stamps (available in the menu at right) to enter the ring structure. You can add any substituents using the pencil tool in the usual way. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. Х а
