Summary Introduction

To determine:

The skeletal structure and the correct IUPAC name for three haloalkane structural isomers with the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_9\text{Br}$.

Introduction:

Skeletal structure shows the bonds between the carbon atoms in the form of lines in two dimensions. The connection between the two carbons is indicated by a line. The number of $\text{C-H}$ bonds to any carbon atoms is equal to four minus the bonds formed by the carbon as carbon always involved four bonds. Haloalkanes are the straight chain alkanes containing halogen atoms in the chain.
