Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which type of isomerism is shown by butane (C4H10)?
  • Step 1: Understand what isomerism means. Isomerism is when two or more compounds have the same chemical formula but different structures.
  • Step 2: Identify the chemical formula of butane, which is C4H10.
  • Step 3: Recognize that butane can be arranged in different ways. This means it can have different structures.
  • Step 4: Learn about the two types of butane: n-butane (a straight chain) and isobutane (a branched chain).
  • Step 5: Conclude that because butane can exist in these two different forms, it shows structural isomerism.
