Question

How many possible isomers are there in chlorobutane?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 structural isomers

Explanation:

There are four structural isomers with the molecular formula C4H9Cl. These structural isomers are 1-chlorobutane, 2-chlorobutane, 1-chloro-2-methylpropane and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane. Molecules are structural isomers only if they have: the same molecular formula.

hope you understood

Answer 2

Answer:

There exist 4 isomers in chlorobutane.

Explanation:

• Isomers are compounds that include the same number of atoms, i.e., they have the exact empirical formula, but vary from each other by how the atoms are arranged.
• There exist four structural isomers with the molecular formula $\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{9} \mathrm{Cl}$. These structural isomers are 1-Chlorobutane, 2-Chlorobutane, 1-chloro-2methylpropnae, and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane.
• 1-Chlorobutane exists as an alkyl halide with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)3Cl. It exists as a colorless, flammable liquid. 1-Chlorobutane.
• Hence, there exist 4 isomers in chlorobutane.
