Question

Discuss these questions with the group and record your consensus answer.

The octane rating for gasoline is a measurement of how readily a fuel combusts compared to 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, an isomer of octane.

a. Draw 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and verify that it is an isomer of octane.

b. Draw four other isomers of octane.

c. Select one of the isomers and draw it such that it looks different on the page but is still the exact same compound.

d. Name this isomer.

e. Define isomer using a complete sentence.
