Chapter 12.2, Problem 12.3P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the following pair of molecule is constitutional isomers or not should be identified:

  ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{, CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$

Concept Introduction:

Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with the same molecular formula, but different structural formula. This phenomenon is known as isomerism.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the following pair of molecule is constitutional isomers or not should be identified:

  ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{OH, CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{OCH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$

Concept Introduction:

Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with the same molecular formula, but different structural formula. This phenomenon is known as isomerism.
