Butane has 2 possible but decane has 75 possible isomers. Why are there more isomers for decane than butane?
Butane only contains 4 carbon atoms, hence the single chain can be made of only two choices (3 carbon chain, having Carbon connected to second carbon chain)
So, only two isomers of Butane are possible, which are Butane and 2-methyl Propane
For decane, there are 10 carbons, atoms, so we can have 7,8,9,10 (carbon chains) with multiple CH3 substituted at different places to obtain different compounds.
Hence there are more isomers of decane than butane
Note - Post any doubts/queries in comments section.

Monochlorination of butane gives two constitutional isomers: 1-chlorobutane and 2-chlorobutane. Dichlorination of butane yields six constitutional isomers. Four of these six isomers are drawn below. Draw the structures of the two missing isomers.
Only two isomeric monochloro derivatives are posssible for (exclude stereo isomers) 1. n-butane 2. 2,4- dimethyl pentane 3. benzene 4. 2- methyl butane
1) Write the mechanism of chlorination reaction of the following compounds and draw the constitutional isomers a) Butane b) 2-methylbutane c) methylcyclobutane d) 2.2-dimethylbutane 2) An alternative reaction of ethane chlorination is shown below a) Why does not this reaction occur? b) Show a mechanism for this alternative reaction 3) Write the mechanism for the formation of carbon tetrachloride from methanelighthv. 1) Write the mechanism of chlorination reaction of the following compounds and draw the constitutional isomers a) Butane b)...
Question 4 (2 points) Among hydrocarbons, how many structural isomers are possible for compounds with a molecular formula C5H12? Draw them all. Two (2) Three (3) Four (4) More than five (5)
1. Draw and name five different isomers of 1,1 Dichloro butane (20) 2. Name this molecule (5) CH 0 CH CH.CCHCCH CHỊ CI 3. Draw this molecule 2,3-dimethyl pentanoic acid. (4) What is the name of its conjugate base? (4) Name this molecule. (4) Draw and name the hydration product of this molecule. (8) 10- CH CH \CH2 CHIC-C-
In this example, why can't more coordination isomers be drawn by replacing the other unique ligands instead of having just one exchanged?
How many constitutional isomers are possible in the dichlorination of cyclohexane? (Don't include cis/trans isomers as these are geometric isomers, although these are certainly possible with a cyclohexane ring.) 2 4 6 3 5
1&2 1. Structural or functional group isomers These isomers have the same molecular formula, but different types of bonds i) Ethyl alcohol ii) Dimethyl ether CH3CH2OH снзоснз Note: common molecular formula C2H6O 2. Skeletal or positional isomers These isomers have the same (number and type of) bonds, but they are arra differently. i) Butane ii) 2-Methylpropane сњењењенз (CH3)2CHCH3 Note: common molecular formula C4H10
What is a possible product for the chlorination of butane? a. 1-chlorobutane b. 2-chlorobutane c. 1,2-dichlorobutane d. all of these are possible
Week 10- Constitutional isomers Constitutional isomers have the same molecular formula, but their atoms are bonded in different orders. These may be further distinguished as chain isomers, which differ only in hydrocarbon chain structure, positional isomers, which differ in the location of a functional group, and functional group isomers which differ in the nature of their functional groups. Typically chain and position isomers show only modest differences in their physical and chemical properties, while functional group isomers differ greatly from...
