Total five isomers including stereoisomers out of which one is optically active (two enantiomers).
Give the total number of isomers including stereoisomers obtained on ...
Explanation:
Dichlorination of Propane:
- Propane has the molecular formula C3H8.
- When propane undergoes dichlorination, two chlorine atoms can replace two hydrogen atoms resulting in different isomers.
Isomers obtained:
1. 1,1-Dichloropropane: In this isomer, both chlorine atoms are attached to the same carbon atom.
2. 1,2-Dichloropropane: Here, the two chlorine atoms are attached to adjacent carbon atoms.
3. 1,3-Dichloropropane: In this isomer, the two chlorine atoms are attached to carbon atoms that are separated by one carbon atom.
4. 2,2-Dichloropropane: Both chlorine atoms are attached to the same carbon atom, but different from the first isomer.
5. 2,3-Dichloropropane: Here, the two chlorine atoms are attached to non-adjacent carbon atoms.
Therefore, a total of 5 isomers can be obtained on the dichlorination of propane, including stereoisomers.
