Question

What are the seven isomers of ${\mathrm{C}}_4{\mathrm{H}}_{10}\mathrm{O}$?

Answer 1

Isomers :

• Isomers are compounds that have the same number of atoms as each other, i.e., they have the same empirical formula, but differ in the way the atoms are ordered.
• For example : $1-\mathrm{bromopropane}$ and $2-\mathrm{bromopropane}$
• 

Isomers of ${\mathrm{C}}_4{\mathrm{H}}_{10}\mathrm{O}$ :

• There are 7 isomers of ${\mathrm{C}}_4{\mathrm{H}}_{10}\mathrm{O}$.

3 - ether isomers :

• ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2{\mathrm{CHOCH}}_3:2-\mathrm{methox}\mathrm{propane}.$
• ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{OCH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_3:\mathrm{ethoxy}\mathrm{ethane}.$
• ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{OCH}}_3:1-\mathrm{methoxy}\mathrm{propane}.$

4 -alcohol isomers:

• ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_3\mathrm{COH}:2-\mathrm{methyl}\mathrm{propan}-2-\mathrm{ol}.$
• ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2{\mathrm{CHCH}}_2\mathrm{OH}:2-\mathrm{methyl}\mathrm{propan}-1-\mathrm{ol}.$
• ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{OH}:\mathrm{butan}-1-\mathrm{ol}.$
• ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{CH}\left(\mathrm{OH}\right){\mathrm{CH}}_3:\mathrm{butan}-2-\mathrm{ol}.$
