Isomer IV:
Explanation of Solution
The given molecular formula is
- All four-carbon atoms are written in a straight chain and double bond at first position.
- All four-carbon atoms are written in a straight chain and double bond at second position.
- Making a three-carbon atoms straight chain with a double bond at position 1 and a methyl substituent at second carbon atom:
- Making a cycloalkane of four carbon atoms bonded by single bonds only:
