Question

Name and draw skeletal formula of all the structural isomers of C4 H10 O that are alcohols.

Answer 1

The structural isomers of C₄H₁₀O that are alcohols include methanol, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol.

Step-by-step explanation:

The structural isomers of C₄H₁₀O that are alcohols include four different compounds:

1. Methanol (methyl alcohol)
2. Ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
3. Propanol (propyl alcohol)
4. Isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol)

Here are the skeletal formulas for each of the isomers:

• Methanol: CH₃OH
• Ethanol: CH₃CH₂OH
• Propanol: CH₃CH₂CH₂OH
• Isopropanol: (CH₃)₂CHOH

Answer 2

One of the isomers of C4H10O that is an alcohol is the 1-butanol or butyl alcohol:

Another of the alcohols that has the given formula is tert-butanol or tert-butyl alcohol:

The third isomer of C4H10O is 2-butanol:

And the last isomer is isobutanol or isobutyl alcohol:
