Question

A level chem naming isomers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Butan-1-ol or Butanol

2-methylpropan-2-ol

2-methylpropan-1-ol

Butan-2-ol

Explanation:

Data Give:

Three Isomers are given

names of These =?

Details:

Isomers:

Isomers are those chemical compounds that have same molecular formula but different structures.

In the given question the compound have same molecular formula that is C₄H₉OH but the structures are different.

So due to different structures they are named differently.

The 1st and last one are straight Chains and the other 2 are branched. all the structure have four carbon atoms, one OH group and 9 hydrogen atoms.

Names are given in attachment

butan-1-ol or Butanol

As it contain 4 carbon atoms an -OH group is attached at position 1.

________________

2-methylpropan-2-ol

In this -OH and -CH₃ is attached on carbon 2

_____________

2-methylpropan-1-ol

In this -CH₃ attached at position 2 and -OH is attached on Carbon 1.

______________

Butan-2-ol

In this 4 carbons are in straight chain and a -OH group is attached on position 2 of carbon
