What are structural isomers ? Draw two structural isomers of butane.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Molecules that have same chemical formula but different spatial arrangement of their constituent atoms are called structural isomers.
The isomers of butane are:
`underset(C_4H_10)underset("Butane")(H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-H) " " underset(C_4H_10)underset("Isobutane")(H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-underset(H)underset(|)underset(H-C-H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-H`
