-
Structural Isomers: Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms.
-
Types of Isomerism:
-
Structural (Constitutional) Isomerism: Atoms are connected differently, leading to different structures. Includes chain, position, and functional group isomerism.
-
Stereoisomerism: Atoms are connected in the same way but differ in spatial arrangement. Includes geometric (cis-trans) and optical isomerism.
-
Ionisation Isomerism: In coordination compounds, involves the exchange of ligands and counter ions.
-
Explanation:
-
Chain 1: Butane (straight chain):
-
1-Chlorobutane
-
2-Chlorobutane
-
-
Chain 2: 2-Methylpropane (branched chain):
-
1-Chloro-2-methylpropane
-
2-Chloro-2-methylpropane
-
This gives us a total of 4 structural isomers for the molecular formula C4H9Cl.
Conclusion:
The number of structural isomers possible for C4H9Cl is: 4
