Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Propane (C3H8) has two types of hydrogen atoms: primary (attached to the end carbon atoms) and secondary (attached to the middle carbon atom). Removing a hydrogen from a primary carbon gives a propyl group, and removing a hydrogen from the secondary carbon gives an isopropyl group, resulting in two different substituent groups.
