Darkblade48 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'm slightly confused by your question; propane only exists in one conformation...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 1/ this isn't a 'we'll do your homeowrk for you' forum. 2/ pretty obvious it only has one possible layout. try it out draw out the propane structure and try moving the carbons about.

paulo1913 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Sorry I ment octane. 1/ this isn't a 'we'll do your homeowrk for you' forum. I know that this isn't for homework it is just an example of asking how to figure out an isomer of any hydrocarbon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkblade48 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 To find all the possible isomers of octane, simply draw out all the chemical structures. For example, 2-methylheptane, 3-methylheptane and 4-methylheptane are just some examples... From there, you can move down to hexane, pentane and butane, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
