Using your modeling kit, make models of all stereoisomers of 2,3-dibromobutane. a. How many stereoisomers of 2.3-dibromobutane are there?

1. 3
2. 4
3. 6
4. 2

b. Draw line drawings of all of the stereoisomers using bold and dashed notation to designate stereochemistry. Label each of the stereocenters as either (R)- or (S)-. Draw an arrow between every pair of isomers and on the arrow describe the relationship between each pair (i. e. enantiomers, diastereomers, meso pair)

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
