Structural isomerism
Structural isomerism
Real World
Butane fuels disposable lighters while its chain isomer 2-methylpropane (isobutane) is used as a propellant in deodorant sprays like Dove, because its lower boiling point makes it vaporise more readily.
Exam Focus
Name the type of structural isomerism (chain, position, or functional group) — simply drawing two isomers is insufficient.
