Because atoms can rotate about single covalent bonds 1-butanol is the same molecule as 4-butanol and 2-butanol is the same molecule as 3-butanol.

Primary amides

Amides have the functional group -CONH₂. A functional group is a group of atoms that gives the molecule unique chemical properties. Molecules with the amide group (-CONH₂) are very soluble in water, depending on their molecular size. Below is a table of the homologous series of primary amides.

Name	Formula	Structural formula
Methanamide	HCONH₂
Ethanamide	CH₃CONH₂
Propanamide	CH₃CH₂CONH₂
Butanamide	CH₃CH₂CH₂CONH₂
Shown on the right is one possible reaction pathway for the formation of a primary amide. Others do exist, however, the reaction shown here is between a carboxylic acid and ammonia reacting in a condensation reaction.
