Question

Define the term isomerism. Explain why propane cannot exhibit this property. Draw the structure of possible isomers of butane.

Answer 1

ISOMERISM

those compounds which has same molecular formula but different structural formula is called isomers and the phenomenon is called isomerism.

WHY PROPANE CANT EXHIBIT ISOMERISM

Because due to lesser number of carbon atoms it form only one combination of atom

sSTRUCTURAL ISOMERS OF BUTANE

n butane and iso butane

Hope this will help you
