Question

Write the structural and condensed formulas as well as the names for all isomers of C3H7Cl and C3H6Cl2.?

Answer 1

`C_3H_7Cl` = Two structures

`C_3H_6Cl_2` = Four structures

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that in an isomer we have the same molecular formula but different structures. Thus, for the molecule
`C_3H_7Cl` we can draw a linear structure of 3 carbons and change the position of the chlorine atom, obtaining two different structures.

For the molecule
`C_3H_6Cl_2`, we can use similar logic. Place a chain of 3 carbons and change the position of the chlorine atoms in such a way that for this formula we will have 4 different structures.

See figures 1 and 2 for further explanations.
