Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the type of isomerism exhibited by 1-butanol and 2-methyl-1-propanol, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Structures of the Compounds - **1-Butanol**: The structure is CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH. This indicates a straight-chain alcohol with four carbon atoms. - **2-Methyl-1-Propanol**: The structure is CH3-CH(CH3)-CH2-OH. This indicates a branched-chain alcohol with three carbon atoms in the longest chain and a methyl group attached to the second carbon. ### Step 2: Analyze the Carbon Skeletons - In 1-butanol, the longest carbon chain consists of four carbon atoms. ...
