Which of the following compounds are isomers and which are homologues?: A) CH3-CH = CH-CH3

Which of the following compounds are isomers and which are homologues?: A) CH3-CH = CH-CH3 b) CH2 = CH-CH2-CH2-CH3 c) CH3-CH = CH-CH2-CH3 d) CH2 = CH2

In this task you will need to define a name for the given compounds.

a) CH3 – CH = CH – CH3.

This compound is called butene-2.

b) CH2 = CH – CH2 – CH2 – CH3.

This compound is called pentene-1.

c) CH3 – CH = CH – CH2 – CH3.

This compound is called pentene-2.

d) CH2 = CH2.

This compound is called ethene – 1.

In this problem, the isomers are compounds pentene – 1 and pentene – 2. The homologues in this problem are compounds ethene – 1 and pentene – 1.
