Question

The molecular formula of a saturated compound is $C_2{H}_{4}C{l}_2$. This formula permits the existence of two:

• A. functional isomers
• B. position isomers
• C. optical isomers
• D. cis-trans isomers

Answer 1

The correct option is B position isomers

The IUPAC name of the compounds that exist with the formula $C_2{H}_{4}C{l}_2$ are:

1.) 1,1-dichloroethane

2.) 1,2-dichloroethane

They are positional isomers.

Therefore, option B is correct.
