What are the two isomers of c3h6br2

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I'm going to assume this is for organic chemistry first week, and therefore, I am going to assume you know by know bond-line notation, so I am not going to draw out the molecular formula for you b/c that would take me some time and i'm lazy atm. For this, you have to draw it out. The formula simply tells you what the molecule is composed of. To draw out isomers, what you are doing is simply rearranging the molecule around. Here is how one isomer of this molecule looks like: |dw:1357863615473:dw| you can actually move the bromines around to form a completly new molecule. However, you can't put a double bond, b/c then that means you're subtracting 2 hydrogens and that's not what the given formula says. It says there are 6 hydrogens. Here is ONE more isomer: |dw:1357863798016:dw|
