Which of the following is structure of isobutyl radical?

Correct answer: C. Option C

  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation

The isobutyl radical is derived from isobutane (2-methylpropane) by removing one hydrogen atom. The molecular formula of isobutyl radical is C4H9. Its structure can be represented as follows: CH3-CH-CH3-CH2-CH3 This structure reflects the arrangement of atoms in the isobutyl radical, where there is a branched chain with a methyl group CH3 attached to the second carbon atom. Therefore option C is correct.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
