Magazine Chapter 20: Q35 E (page 1143)
Write the condensed structures of all isomers with the formulaC2H6O2. Label the functional group (or groups) of each isomer.
Short Answer
Step by step solution
Isomers
Isomers have the same molecular formula. They differ in the relative position of the atoms.
Alcohol
The first isomer is an alcohol:
It has two -OH groups at two different carbon atoms.
Its name is ethylene glycol, or the IUPAC name is 1,2 -ethanediol.
The second isomer
The second isomer is a mix of ether and alcohol:
It has a methyl group connected to the oxygen atom, which has a methylene group on the other side as CH2.
On the other side, CH2has an OH group connected, which is an alcohol group.
Peroxides
The third and fourth isomers are peroxides:
It's a type of group where oxygen atoms are connected with a single 岬� bond
Each oxygen atom then has either an H or R group attached to it.
To sum up, oxygens share a single bond, and each one has another single bond with H or some alkyl or aryl group.
