Chapter 1.9, Problem 1.20E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Two isomers with the molecular formula C4H10 needs to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: Organic compounds are the compounds which are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The molecular formula of organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols.

Constitutional isomers are the isomers with same molecular formula but different arrangement of bonded atoms in the molecule. Since they have same molecular formula but different bonding of atoms therefore they exhibit different properties.
