    Isomers
AI Thread Summary
C4H8 has multiple isomers, not just one. Participants in the discussion identified at least six isomers, including cyclic structures like cyclobutane. There was a mention of an assignment that incorrectly stated there were only four isomers. The conversation highlights the complexity of organic chemistry and the importance of considering all structural variations. Understanding these isomers is crucial for accurate chemical representation and study.

Is there only one?

No.

I have to add signature or something, because the message above - albeit perfectly answering the question - is too short :frown:

damn. i handed in my assignment saying there were four.
 
Most likely you missed cyclic ones.
