Chapter 1.2, Problem 1PTS

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the constitutional isomers that have the molecular formula $C_3{H}_{7}Cl$ have to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

• Isomers are compounds having same molecular formula but has different arrangements of atoms
• Constitutional isomers have same molecular formula but differ in the way their atoms are connected.

Steps to draw the constitutional isomers

• Valency of each atom that appears in the molecular formula has to be known.
• Atom with highest valency has to be connected first and the monovalent atom has to be placed at the periphery.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the constitutional isomers that have the molecular formula $C_4{H}_{10}$ have to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

• Isomers are compounds having same molecular formula but has different arrangements of atoms
• Constitutional isomers have same molecular formula but differ in the way their atoms are connected.

Steps to draw the constitutional isomers

• Valency of each atom that appears in the molecular formula has to be known.
• Atom with highest valency has to be connected first and the monovalent atom has to be placed at the periphery.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the constitutional isomers that have the molecular formula $C_5{H}_{12}$ have to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

• Isomers are compounds having same molecular formula but has different arrangements of atoms
• Constitutional isomers have same molecular formula but differ in the way their atoms are connected.

Steps to draw the constitutional isomers

• Valency of each atom that appears in the molecular formula has to be known.
• Atom with highest valency has to be connected first and the monovalent atom has to be placed at the periphery.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Concept Introduction:

• Isomers are compounds having same molecular formula but has different arrangements of atoms
• Constitutional isomers have same molecular formula but differ in the way their atoms are connected.

Steps to draw the constitutional isomers

• Valency of each atom that appears in the molecular formula has to be known.
• Atom with highest valency has to be connected first and the monovalent atom has to be placed at the periphery.

(e)
