(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of constitutional isomer of octanoic acid that contains a carboxylic group and no chirality center should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The molecular formula of organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols. The structural formula represents all the bonded atoms with
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of constitutional isomer of octanoic acid that contains a carboxylic group and a chirality center should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The molecular formula of organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols. The structural formula represents all the bonded atoms with chemical bonds and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule. The compounds with same molecular formula and different structural formula are known as as isomers. Isomers can be classified as constitutional isomers and stereoisomers.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure of constitutional isomer of octanoic acid that contains an ester group should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
