Question

Draw all possible isomers for a compound with molecular formula $C_{8}H_{10}$ containing benzene ring. Also, give IUPAC name to these isomers.

Answer 1

Isomers: Compounds having “same” “molecular formula” but exhibit different structures.

Chain isomers: It is a kind of “structural isomerism” in which the isomers have the “same” molecular formulation but “differ” in the order in which the carbon atoms are linked.

Position isomers: This isomers are “constitutional isomers” with the same “carbon skeleton” and “functional groups” but differ from each other when the functional groups are located on or in the carbon chain.
