Chapter 3, Problem 77E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Amongst the following structures, the isomeric structures should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Isomers are the compounds that have the same molecular formula but different chemical structures. For example, isobutane and butane are isomers. Both have the molecular formula of ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{10}$. But they have different chemical structures.

The structure of butane is as follows:

The structure of isobutane is as follows:

Structural isomers are one in which two or more compounds have the same molecular formula and connectivity of the atoms in the structures are different.
