Question
The number of isomers for the compound with molecular formula $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{BrClFI}$ is(a) 3(b) 4(c) 5(d) 6
Step 1
Since there are 2 carbon atoms, they must be connected to each other. Then, we have 4 different halogens (Br, Cl, F, and I) to attach to the carbon atoms. There are two possible ways to distribute the halogens among the carbon atoms: Show more…
