Chapter 22, Problem 123AE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of the given compound and the structures of its two isomers containing four chlorine atoms are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: An isomer is defined as molecules having a same molecular formula but with a different structural arrangement of atoms within the formula. They do not have similar properties and functional group is also differing in their structures. Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins are a group of polyhalogenated organic compounds which are highly toxic substances released as a byproduct of chemical manufacturing processes.

To determine: The structure of the given compound and the structures of its two isomers containing four chlorine atoms.
