Chemistry

Isomers of C₄H₉Cl

1. Chlorobutane (n-butyl chloride)

Structure: CH₃–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂Cl

Unique Carbon Environments: 1

2. 2-Chlorobutane (sec-butyl chloride)

Structure: CH₃–CH(Cl)–CH₂–CH₃

Unique Carbon Environments: 2

3. 1-Chloro-2-methylpropane (isobutyl chloride)

Structure: (CH₃)₂CH–CH₂Cl

Unique Carbon Environments: 2

4. 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane (tert-butyl chloride)

Structure: (CH₃)₃C–Cl

Unique Carbon Environments: 1

Total Unique Carbon Environments: 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 6
