An isomer with same molecular formula but different arrangement of
An isomer with same molecular formula but different arrangement of functional group is known as a functional isomer.
(b)
Interpretation:
To sketch and name all the isomers of C 4H8
Concept introduction:
An isomer is defined as the species or compounds that have same chemical formula but different arrangement of atoms.
An isomer with same molecular formula but different arrangement of carbon chains is known as a chain isomer.
An isomer with same molecular formula but different arrangement of functional groups is known as a position isomer.
An isomer with same molecular formula but different arrangement of functional group is known as a functional isomer.
(c)
Interpretation:
To identify the functional groups present in the compound C 4H6
Concept introduction:
A functional group is defined as a chemical group of atoms which impart certain characteristic properties to a molecule with whom it is attached.
When a bromine, chlorine or iodine is present in a carbon chain then it means halogen group is present in the compound.
A C=O functional group is known as a
A CHO functional group is known as an
An OH functional group is known as an alcohol group.

EBK GENERAL CHEMISTRY
- Distinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active.
