Question

There are several aromatic compounds with the formula c8h9cl. name those that have a trisubstituted ring where the methyl groups are oriented para. if you choose to use ortho, meta, or para in your name, abbreviate these prefixes with o, m, or p. if there are not 3 isomers that fit the description, leave the appropriate number of spaces blank.

Answer 1

This is the only compound I found that matches the description.

Answer 2

2-chloro-p-dimethylbenzene

Step-by-step explanation:

The only compound that fulfills those conditions (a tribsubstituted aromatic ring where the methyl groups are oriented para) is 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylbenzene.

Once the 1 and 4 positions are taken, no matter where we put the Cl species, the end result is going to be the same molecule.

Attached below is a picture of the compound.
