chemistry question

You've got two isomers of the 4 carbon chain (butane)--a normal chain (4 carbons in a line) and an iso chain (three carbons in a line with a 4th carbon branching off of the middle).

The first butane is called n(ormal)-butane, the second is called 2-methyl propane.

Now--where to attach the bromine atom.

n-butane can have the bromine attached to the first and second carbon (the 3rd and 4th carbon is the same as 1 and 2 when wou number the carbons in the chain from left to right).

So the two n-butane bromine(s) is 1 bromine butane and 2 bromine butane, or schematically CBrCCC and CCBrCC

Now for the other isomer (methylpropane) CH3CH2(CH3)CH3
The bromine can be attached to the 1st or 2nd carb0n in the chain--the names are 1 bromine methyl propane and 2 bromine methyl propane

The are CH2BrCH2(CH3)CH3 and CH3CHBr(CH3)CH3

So there are four different isomers here.

nicely done.
