In: Chemistry
1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane are
a. constitutional isomers b. conformational isomers c. configurational isomers d. homologs e. stereoisomers
Answer : a) Constitutional isomers
1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane are atype of constitutional isomers called position isomers
The Constitutional isomers are also known as Structural isomers
EXPLANATION:
Constitutional isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but differerent chemical structures. They differ from each other in the mode of attachment of the different atoms in the molecule
There are different types of configurational isomers.
i) Chain isomers : Have the same molecular formula but differ in the length of the C chain constituting the molecule .
Eg n-butane and iso-butane
ii) Position isomers -Have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of the functional group in the C chain constituting the molecule
Eg 1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane
iii) Functional isomers : Have the same molecular formula but different functional group
Eg Ethyl alcohol and Dimethyl ether
