Question

Draw the structures for the following compounds:
i. Ethanoic acid
ii. Bromopentane
iii. Butanone
iv. Hexanal
Are structural isomers possible for bromopentane?

Answer 1

Yes, structural isomers are possible for bromopentane. The presence of bromine atom on different carbon atoms of the chain results in three structural isomers. The other two isomers of bromopentane have bromine atom linked to second and third carbon atoms respectively.
