The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of structural alkenes with the formula \( C_2FClBrI \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Alkene Structure**: - Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond. For the formula \( C_2FClBrI \), we have two carbon atoms that will be connected by a double bond: \( C=C \). 2. **List the Atoms**: - The given formula contains four different substituents: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). 3. **Fix One Substituent**: - To find the structural isomers, we can fix one of the substituents in a specific position. Let's fix chlorine (Cl) at one of the carbon atoms. 4. **Arrange the Remaining Substituents**: - With Cl fixed, we can arrange the remaining three substituents (F, Br, I) around the two carbon atoms. The possible arrangements are: - Cl on Carbon 1, and the other three substituents on Carbon 2. - We can rotate F, Br, and I around Carbon 2 while keeping Cl fixed. 5. **Count the Arrangements**: - The arrangements for the substituents on Carbon 2 can be done in different ways: - Cl - F - Br - I - Cl - F - I - Br - Cl - Br - F - I - Cl - Br - I - F - Cl - I - F - Br - Cl - I - Br - F However, since we are looking for structural isomers, we need to ensure that each arrangement leads to a distinct structure. 6. **Identify Unique Structures**: - After considering the fixed position of Cl, we can find that there are three unique structural isomers: 1. Cl on Carbon 1, F on Carbon 2, Br on Carbon 2, I on Carbon 2. 2. Cl on Carbon 1, Br on Carbon 2, F on Carbon 2, I on Carbon 2. 3. Cl on Carbon 1, I on Carbon 2, F on Carbon 2, Br on Carbon 2. 7. **Conclusion**: - The total number of structural alkenes possible with the formula \( C_2FClBrI \) is **3**.
