Question

Write the structural formula of saturated isomer of 2-butane.​

Answer 1

Answer:

C4H8

2-Butene/Formula

Explanation:

Answer 2

The structural isomers of butane are n-butane and iso-butane.

Explanation:

• Butane is an alkane, that is it is saturated. It follows the formula of $C_{n}H_{2n+2}$. Its formula is $C_{4}H_{10}$.
• For alkanes, three structural isomers exist, that are normal, iso, and neo isomers.
• For butane only n-, and iso isomers exist as for neo isomer a minimum of 5 carbon atoms are required.
• The naming is done as n-butane, and iso-butane. The other name for iso-butane is 2-methyl propane.
• The structures are shown in the figure attached below:
