Question

Draw structures for (a) a chain isomer, (b) a positional isomer, and (c) a functional isomer of hexan-1-ol

(i.e., 1-hexanol)
a. Chain isomer
b. Positional isomer
c. Functional isomer

Answer 1

See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we should define each type of structural formula as shown below:

- Chain isomers: molecules with the same molecular formula, but different arrangements.

- Positional isomers are constitutional isomers that have the same carbon skeleton and the same functional groups but differ from each other in the location of the functional groups.

- Functional isomers are structural isomers that have the same molecular formula (that is, the same number of atoms of the same elements), but the atoms are connected in different ways so that the groupings are dissimilar.

Regards.
