Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation: All the constitutional isomers that have molecular formulas
Concept Introduction: The molecules that possess the same molecular formula but differ in the structural arrangement of atoms in the molecule are said to be isomers of each other.
a.
Answer to Problem 32PP
Explanation of Solution
For the first isomer structure, all two-carbon atoms are written in a straight chain and the chlorine atom is bonded to one of the carbon atoms as:
There is no other possibility for the different structural formula
b.

Explanation of Solution
The different structural the arrangement of atoms in the molecule
- All two-carbon atoms are written in a straight chain and two chlorine atoms are bonded to one of the carbon atoms resulting in:
- Interchanging the position of one hydrogen atom at first carbon with one chlorine atom of the second carbon atom.
