(a)
Interpretation: The structure of five constitutional isomers with molecular formula C4H8 has to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Isomers are the compounds having same molecular formula but different structures. Constitutional isomers are the isomers have different connectivity of atoms. The degree of unsaturation in a compound having molecular formula CaHbNcOd is expressed as follows:
Degree of unsaturation
Where, a = number of carbon
b = number of hydrogen atoms
c = number of nitrogen atoms
