Makes two chain isomers and two position isomers of each molecule: 2 ethyl 3,5 dimethyl hexene
Accepted Answer
2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylhexene can form two chain isomers and two position isomers. Chain isomers have the same molecular formula but a different carbon skeleton. Position isomers have the same molecular formula and the same carbon skeleton but different positions of functional groups or other substituents. For 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylhexene, the two chain isomers are:
1. 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylhexene
2. 3-ethyl-2,4-dimethylhexene
The two position isomers are:
1. 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylhexene
2. 2-ethyl-4,5-dimethylhexene
