Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular formula C₂H₄Br₂ can be simplified to C1H1Br1S2B26. There are two possible constitutional isomers for this molecule: 1. The first isomer has a branched chain where the S atoms are adjacent to each other, with the B atoms arranged in a linear fashion: H | B | S --- B --- B --- B --- B --- B --- B --- B --- B --- B --- B --- S | C | Br | S 2. The second isomer has a linear chain where the B atoms are adjacent to each other, with the S atoms arranged in a branched fashion: H | B --- S --- B --- S --- B --- S --- B --- S --- B --- S --- B --- S --- Br | C | S Therefore, the answer is B.
