Draw the structure isomers of C3H5Cl3
There are five structural isomers of C3H5Cl3:
1,1,1- Trichloropropane:
- All three chlorine atoms are bonded to the first carbon atom in the chain.
- Cl-CH2-CH2-CH2-Cl (structural formula)
1,1,2- Trichloropropane:
- Two chlorine atoms are bonded to the first carbon, and one chlorine atom is bonded to the second carbon.
- Cl-CH2-CH(Cl)-CH2-Cl (structural formula)
1,2,2- Trichloropropane:
- One chlorine atom is bonded to the first carbon, and two chlorine atoms are bonded to the second carbon.
- Cl-CH2-CH(Cl)-CH(Cl)-Cl (structural formula)
1,1,3- Trichloropropane:
- Two chlorine atoms are bonded to the first carbon, and one chlorine atom is bonded to the third carbon.
- Cl-CH2-CH2-CH(Cl)-Cl (structural formula)
1,2,3- Trichloropropane:
-
One chlorine atom is bonded to each of the first three carbon atoms in the chain.
-
Cl-CH2-CH(Cl)-CH2-Cl (structural formula)
Note: This isomer has a chiral center at the second carbon atom, meaning it can exist as a pair of enantiomers
I hope it helps!
