Convert this molecular formula into a structure that is consistent with the usual bonding patterns. C2h6o if more than one structure fits the description, draw them all. This molecule has 2 possible isomer(s). Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu.

Answer:

Ethanol and dimethyl eher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Based on the molecular formula,
C_2H_6O, two possible isomers could occur, ethanol and diethyl ether and are shown on the attached picture.

Ethanol is a saturated organic alcohol containing two carbons, six hydrogens and one oxygen; it is widely used in the alcoholic beverages industry and is obtained via ether synthetic or biochemically. On the other hand, dimethyl ether has the same types and numbers of atoms; it is widely used as an organic solvent employed in liquid-liquid extraction processes.

Best regards.

The given formula contains two carbon along with six hydrogen and an oxygen.

The possible isomers from
C_2H_6O are ethanol and dimethyl ether.

Ehtanol is an alcohol containing a hydroxyl group whereas dimethyl ether is an ether containing an oxygen between two methyl

The structure of two isomers are:
