There are two possible isomers of dichloropropane, depending on the position of the chlorine atoms:
1,2-Dichloropropane:
* Structural Formula:
```
H Cl
| |
H - C - C - C - H
| |
H Cl
```
* Condensed Formula: CH₂ClCHClCH₃
1,3-Dichloropropane:
* Structural Formula:
```
H H
| |
H - C - C - C - H
| |
Cl Cl
```
* Condensed Formula: CH₂ClCH₂CH₂Cl
Explanation:
* Structural Formula: This shows the arrangement of atoms and bonds in the molecule. Each line represents a single bond.
* Condensed Formula: This is a shorter way to write the formula, grouping atoms together.
Note: The "di" prefix in "dichloropropane" indicates that there are two chlorine atoms in the molecule.
