Chapter 25, Problem 44QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the possible isomers are to be described for dichlorobenzene ($\left({\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}\right)$, and all proposed structures are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

All those molecules that consist of the same number of atoms, but the arrangement of atoms differ, are known as isomers. It has the same molecular formula as the other molecule.

When isomeric molecules have the same molecular formula, but different bonding patterns and atomic organization, they are known as structural isomers.
