Asked by Zainab Fatima · 2 years ago
What is the molecular structure of isopropyl chloride?
1 Answer
Isopropyl chloride (C3H7Cl) has the following structure:
1. A three-carbon chain with a chlorine atom attached to the central carbon
2. Molecular formula: CH3-CHCl-CH3
3. It is an alkyl halide (haloalkane)
The central carbon is a chiral center, making isopropyl chloride optically active.
