Chapter 23, Problem 11STP

To determine

To write: The chemical formula of the give isomers.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Compounds that have identical chemical formulas but different structures are termed as isomers.

The structural diagram of each of the compound is as follows:

1.

The chemical formula of this structure is ${\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_{10}$

2.

The chemical formula of this structure is ${\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_{10}$

Conclusion:

The first structure is called butane while the second structure is called iso-butane.
