Chain, Branches and Rings

Carbon atoms forms compounds with different type arrangement, such as long chain, branched chain and cyclic chain structures.

Structural Isomers

Hydrocarbons having same molecular formula but different structural formula are called Structural Isomers.

Example:

Butane:

Molecular formula of hydrocarbon having four carbon atoms = C4H6

Name of this compound: Butane

Butane can have following two types of structural formula. This means four carbon atoms can be arranged in following two ways.

structural formula of butane

n–Butane

Name of this hydrocarbon is Butane or n–butane

structural formula of isobutane

Isobutane

Name of this hydrocarbon is Isobutane. In this one carbon atom is arranged as branched chain.

These two hydrocarbons n–butane and isobutene has same molecular formula but different structural formula and are called structural isomers.

Pentane:

Molecular Formula of pentane = C5H12

In pentane carbon atoms can arrange into three ways, first forming straight chain and second forming one side chain and third forming two side chains.

Straight chain of pentane

structural formula of pentane

n–pentane

Name of this hydrocarbon is n–pentane.
