Isomers: Natural gas has many uses

Natural gas has many uses but do you know it acts as a precursor of one of the most important and commercially dominant alkyne. Acetylene, commercially dominant alkyne, production is possible by partial oxidation of natural gas. Let's study more about the nomenclature and preparation of alkynes. (a) Define the term ' isomers '. (b) Draw two possible isomers of the compounds with molecular formula C3H 6O and write their names. (c) Give the electron dot structures of the above two compounds. We know from the formula that these isomers contain no rings or double bonds. The isomers must be alcohols and ethers. Lets' start by drawing the alcohols. Start with four carbons in a row and put an O H group in every possible position. This gives us 1. C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 C H 2 O H , butan 1-ol and 2. C H 3 C H 2 C H (O H) C H 3, butan-2-ol Now use a 3 - carbon chain with a C H 3 on the middle carbon. This gives (C H 3) 2 C H C H 2 O H, 2-methylpropane -1-ol and (C H 3) 3 C O H, 2 ... Shiva asked surabhi to draw the structural isomers of pentane. How many structural isomers possibly she can make?
