Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All possible strucural isomer of the $\text{dichloropropane}$$\left({\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ has to be drawn and systematic name of each isomer has to be given.

Concept introduction:

Structural Isomerism: Structural Isomers are the structures of a molecule with same molecular formula but have different arrangements of bonds and atoms and position of double bond also changes from more substituted to less substituted or vice-versa.

Here, $\text{dichloropropane}$ has two chlorine atoms thus by changing their positions different structural isomers can be drawn.
