Let's break down what "positional isomers" are and then look at each molecule!
* Isomers: These are molecules that have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms.
* Positional Isomers: These are a specific type of isomer where the basic structure of the molecule stays the same, but the position of a functional group (like a bromine atom, Br) changes.
Now, let's look at each option:
* A. CH₃CH₂Br (Bromoethane):
* There's only one place the bromine can be on this two-carbon chain. So, it has no other positional isomers.
* B. CH₃CHBrCH₃ (2-bromopropane):
* If you move the Br to the end of the chain, you get 1-bromopropane. However, there is only one other possible position. So this only has one other positional isomer.
* C. CBr₂F₂ (Dibromodifluoromethane):
* This molecule has no other positional isomers. No matter how you switch the Bromine or Fluorine, the molecule is the same.
* D. CH₂BrCH₂CH₂Br (1,3-dibromopropane):
* This is the correct answer. You can move one of the bromine atoms to the middle carbon, creating 1,2-dibromopropane. So there are two positional isomers of this molecule.
Therefore, the molecule with two other positional isomers is D. CH₂BrCH₂CH₂Br.
the question say " other two " apart from the one written, according to the explanation B is having only two isomers. so therefore the answer should be D.
The question states, two other positional isomers meaning those apart from the ones written. Then our answer should be option D.

Thank you
The molecule with two other positional isomers is D) CH₂CHBrCH₂Br. Positional isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms or groups of atoms within the molecule. CH₂CHBrCH₂Br has two additional positional isomers: CHBrCH₂CH₂Br and CH₃CHBr₂CH₃. The other options have fewer than two other positional isomers.
CH₃CH₂Br has no other positional isomers.
CH₃CHBrCH₃ has no other positional isomers.
CBr₂F₂ has no other positional isomers.
Confirm and if wrong 👍
yes, we can have
1. 1,1 dibromo propane
2. 2,2 dibromo propane
what abt;
1, 3 dibromo propane 😎🤔🤔
Apologies please!
Kindly note that correction has been effected.
Thank you all for your unrelenting efforts. It's well appreciated.
