Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is an example of structural isomerism?
  • Step 1: Understand what structural isomerism means. It refers to compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures.
  • Step 2: Identify the compounds given in the question. In this case, we have 1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane.
  • Step 3: Look at the structure of 1-bromopropane. The bromine atom is attached to the first carbon of the propane chain.
  • Step 4: Now, look at the structure of 2-bromopropane. The bromine atom is attached to the second carbon of the propane chain.
  • Step 5: Compare the two structures. Since the position of the bromine atom is different in each compound, they are structural isomers.
