Question

Changing the position of a substituent group (i.e., which carbon the group is attached to) can, but does not always, result in a different compound. For example, if you moved the -OH group from carbon 1 to carbon 2 of butanol, you would get a new compound, but if you moved it again from carbon 2 to the next carbon along the chain, you would not. Explain why not. 2. Give an example of when changing the position of a substituent group results in a different compound and another example when it does not result in a different compound. Your example must be something other than moving around butanol's -OH group. 3. Consider three molecules: heptane, trans-3-heptene, and cis-3-heptene. Compare the effect a cis bond has on the overall shape of a 3-heptene molecule to the effect a trans bond has. 4. Consider the models you made for the compounds that have the formula C4H10O. Are there other isomers with this formula besides the ones you explored in the procedure? Would they have the same or different functional groups? Draw structures to provide examples. You do not have to name these compounds.
