Which compound is an isomer of C2H5OC2H5? A)CH3COOH

B)C2H5COOCH3

C)C3H7COCH3

D)C4H9OH

D) C₄H₉OH

Explanation:

In chemistry, isomers are chemical substances with the same formula (That is, same atoms but in different structures).

For the compound C₂H₅OC₂H₅ there are 4 atoms of C, 10 atoms of H and 1 atom of O.

A) CH₃COOH . This compound have 2 atoms of C, 4 atoms of H and 2 atoms of O. Thus, isn't an isomer.

B) C₂H₅COOCH₃. There are 4 atoms of C but 8 atoms of H and 2 atoms of O. Isn't an isomer

C) C₃H₇COCH₃. There are 5 atoms of C, 10 atoms of H and 1 atom of O. Thus, isn't an isomer

D) C₄H₉OH. Here, you have 4 atoms of C, 10 atoms of H and 1 atom of O. That means this structure is the isomer of C₂H₅OC₂H₅

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)

a compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.

a. by the combination of an unlimited number of elements
