?Are these two compounds isomers? Explain. [Section 2.9]

Step 1 of 5) Are these two compounds isomersThe study of compounds of carbon is called organic chemistry, and as noted earlier, compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen, often in combination with oxygen, nitrogen, or other elements, are called organic compounds. Organic compounds are a very important part of chemistry, far outnumbering all other types of chemical substances. We will examine organic compounds in a systematic way in Chapter 24, but you will encounter many examples of them throughout the text. Here we present a brief introduction to some of the simplest organic compounds and the ways in which they are named.Alkanes Compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. In the simplest class of hydrocarbons, alkanes, each carbon is bonded to four other ato
