Draw the structural formula and name all isomers of dichloropropane C3H6Cl2 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The compounds with the same molecular formula but different bond connectivity are structural isomers. Structural isomers are the following types:

  1. Position isomerism: In this type of isomerism the position of a functional group or a substituent is different.
  2. Functional isomerism: Tow isomers contain different functional groups.
  3. Skeletal isomerism: In this isomerism, the number of carbon atoms is different in the carbon chain.
