Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structural formulas for all structural isomers of molecules with formula
Concept introduction:
In organic compounds, isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms.
Explanation of Solution
The given formula of molecule is
There is 1 oxygen atom thus, the possible functional group can be −OH group,
The general formula of ketone is as follows:
Thus, for 3 carbon
The structural formulas of all the isomers are represented as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
The structural formulas for all structural isomers of molecules with formula
Concept introduction:
In organic compounds, isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms.
Explanation of Solution
The given formula of molecule is
From the given formula, there are 2 carbon atoms in the main chain. There are 4 H atoms and 2 Cl atoms thus, the isomers will have different positions of Cl atoms in the main carbon chain.
The possible structural isomers are as follows:
