There are three isomers of dichlorobenzene, one of which has now replaced naphthalene as the main constituent of mothballs.
a. Identify the ortho, the meta, and the para isomers of dichlorobenzene.
b. Predict the number of isomers for trichlorobenzene.
c. It turns out that the presence of one chlorine atom on a benzene ring will cause the next substituent to add ortho or para to the first chlorine atom on the benzene ring. What does this tell you about the synthesis of m-dichlorobenzene?
d. Which of the isomers of trichlorobenzene will be the hardest to prepare?

- What is a hydrocarbon? What is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon? Distinguish between normal and branched hydrocarbons. What is an alkane? What is a cyclic alkane? What are the two general formulas for alkanes? What is the hybridization of carbon atoms in alkanes? What are the bond angles in alkanes? Why are cyclopropane and cyclobutane so reactive? The normal (unbranched) hydrocarbons are often referred to as straight-chain hydrocarbons. What does this name refer to? Does it mean that the carbon atoms in a straight-chain hydrocarbon really have a linear arrangement? Explain. In the shorthand notation for cyclic alkanes, the hydrogens are usually omitted. How do you determine the number of hydrogens bonded to each carbon in a ring structure?arrow_forwardWhy are different conformations of an alkane not considered structural isomers?arrow_forward1.
