Question

what is postional isomer explain with example in sort

Answer 1

when two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton , they are called position isomer.
for e.g. C3H8O
CH3CH2CH2OH(propan-1-ol)
CH3CH(OH)CH3(propan-2-ol
hope it helps you

Answer 2

Hi mate.

Thanks for asking this question.

Here is your answer,




$positional \: isomers \: =$

Positional isomers are also

referred to as constitutional isomers. These

isomers contain same carbon skeleton as well

as the functional group.

But they are different in the position of

the functional group in the carbon chain,

hence they are termed as positional isomers.

Example :

When we can see the simple example

of the positional isomers i.e

###But-1-ene and But-2-ene ,

CH2 = CH-CH2-CH3 (1-BUTENE)

CH3-CH=CH-CH3 (2-BUTENE)

Both two structures having

Same carbon skeleton

and also the same

functional group i.e alkene

group. The difference

between the two

structures are change in

the position of the

functional group I.e alkene

group or double bond.

The alkene group in 1-

BUTENE is terminal and in

2-BUTENE it is internal. So

it is an positional isomers

of each other.

Thank you.
