Question

Consider the following structure.  If a chlorine at were substituted for each of the labeled hydrogen atoms, which of the following is true of the resulting compound?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The structure suggests a substituted benzene ring with a substituent on the 1st carbon. If the labeled hydrogens are replaced by chlorine atoms, we would get a 1,4-dichlorobenzene. The name indicates that the two chlorine atoms would be located at the 1st and 4th carbon atoms on the benzene ring. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Would represent the 1,4 isomer.
