Your classmate challenged you by insisting that 2 other structural isomers of

C3H6Cl2 exist, the 2,3-dichloropropane and 3,3-dichloropropane. You investigated
the validity of the claim by drawing the structural formula. Which of the following
statements are correct?

I. There are only 4 structural isomers of C 3H6Cl2.

II. 2,3-Dichloropropane and 3,3-dichloropropane are structural isomers of
C3H6Cl2, making 6 in total.
III. 2,3-Dichloropropane is obtained when carbon atoms in 1,2-
dichloropropane are numbered from right to left which is inconsistent
with the IUPAC rules. Thus, 2,3-dichloropropane is incorrect.
IV. 3,3-Dichloropropane is obtained when carbon atoms in 1,1-
dichloropropane are numbered from right to left which is inconsistent
with the IUPAC rules. Thus, 3,3-dichloropropane is incorrect.
