Write a structure of a branched chain alkaline which is isometric with n-butane |
|
Answer» We can write the structure of BUTANE (C4H10) by stringing FOUR carbon atoms in a ROW, –C–C–C–C– and then adding enough hydrogen atoms to give each carbon atom four BONDS: The compound butane has this structure, but there is another way to put 4 carbon atoms and 10 hydrogen atoms together. Place 3 of the carbon atoms in a row and then branch the fourth one off the middle carbon atom:Now we add enough hydrogen atoms to give each carbon four bonds. Explanation: |
