Write structural formula for all the isomeric alcohols having the molecular formula `C_(4)H_(10)O`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find all the isomeric alcohols with the molecular formula C4H10O, we need to consider different structural arrangements of the carbon skeleton while ensuring that each structure contains the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group characteristic of alcohols. Below are the steps to derive the structural formulas for the isomeric alcohols: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Carbon Skeletons**: - The molecular formula C4H10O indicates that we have 4 carbon atoms, 10 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom. We can arrange these carbon atoms in different ways to create structural isomers. 2. **Draw the Straight-Chain Alcohol**: ...
