Solution
C4H9Br is a saturated compound because its parent hydrocarbon is C4H10.
Its isomers are as follows:
(i) \[\ce{\underset{1-Bromobutane}{CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - Br}}\]
(ii) \[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{.........}\ce{Br}\\
\phantom{.......}|\\
\ce{\underset{2-Bromobutane}{CH3-CH2-CH-CH3}}
\end{array}\]
(iii) \[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3}\phantom{...}\\
|\phantom{......}\\
\ce{\underset{1-Bromo-2-Methylpropane}{CH3-CH-CH2Br}}
\end{array}\]
(iv) \[\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{..}\ce{CH3}\\
|\phantom{..}\\
\ce{CH3 - C - Br}\phantom{.....}\\
|\phantom{..}\\
\phantom{..}\ce{\underset{2-Bromo-2-Methylpropane}{CH3}}
\end{array}\]
