Question

Write Lewis structures and IUPAC names for all isomers of C₄H₉Cl.

a)Linear butyl chloride
b)Isobutyl chloride
c)Sec-butyl chloride
d)Tert-butyl chloride

Answer 1

The Lewis structures and IUPAC names for the four isomers of C₄H₉Cl are linear butyl chloride, isobutyl chloride, sec-butyl chloride, and tert-butyl chloride.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Lewis structures and IUPAC names for the four isomers of C₄H₉Cl are:

a) Linear butyl chloride:

Structure: CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂Cl

IUPAC Name: 1-Chlorobutane

b) Isobutyl chloride:

Structure: (CH₃)₂CHCH₂Cl

IUPAC Name: 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane

c) Sec-butyl chloride:

Structure: CH₃CHClCH₂CH₃

IUPAC Name: 1-Chloro-2-methylpropane

d) Tert-butyl chloride:

Structure: (CH₃)₃CCl

IUPAC Name: 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane
