Umahluko phakathi kwe-isopropyl kwayeI-IyopropanolUbuxoki kwimo yabo yemolekyuli kunye neepropathi. Ngelixa zombini zobabini zine-carbon efanayo kunye neeatom ze-hydrogen, isakhiwo sabo sekhemikhali sahlukile, sikhokelela ekubeni sahlukene kwizixhobo zabo zomzimba kunye neekhemikhali.

I-Iyopropyl Utywala, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-Iyopropanol, yeyosapho lotywala kwaye inemichiza yekhemikhali i-ch3-ch (oh) -Ch3. Yinto eguquguqukayo, enokutsha, engenamibala kwi-odor eqhelekileyo. Ukucocwa kwayo nokungalunganga ngamanzi kuyenza ibe yikhemikhali ebalulekileyo yezommiselo, ukufumana isicelo sayo kwimimandla eyahlukeneyo enjengeeliti, ii-antifrees, kunye neearhente zokucoca. I-Iyopropanol ikwasetyenziswa njengento engafunekiyo yokuveliswa kwezinye iichemicals.

Kwelinye icala, i-Iyopropyl imele i-hydrocarbon radical (c3h7-), eyi-alkyl ikhupha i-propyl (c3h8). I-isomer ye-Butane (C4H10) kwaye ikwabizwa ngokuba yi-butyl yamanqanaba. I-Iyopropyl Utywala, kwelinye icala, kukuphazamiseka kotywala kwe-Iyopropyl. Ngelixa i-Iyopropyl Utywala ineqela le-hydroxyl (---o) iqhotyoshelwe kuyo, i-Iyopropyl ayinayo nayiphi na iqela le-hydroxyl. Umahluko wesakhiwo phakathi kwezi zibini zikhokelela kumahluko obonakalayo kwiipropathi zabo zomzimba kunye nekhemikhali.

I-Iyopropyl Utywala ayibonakali ngamanzi ngenxa yobume bayo bobunzi, ngelixa i-Iyopropyl yi-netpopyl yi-notporpy kwaye ingena emanzini. Iqela le-hydroxyl ekhoyo e-Iyopropanol yenza ukuba isebenze ngakumbi kwaye i-polar kune-isotoptropy. Lo mthetho womoya uchaphazela isomba yabo kunye nokungasebenzi kakuhle nezinye izinto ezihlanganisiweyo.

Ukuqukumbela, ngelixa zombini i-Iyopropyl kunye ne-Iyopropanol inamanani afanayo yekhabhoni kunye ne-hydrogen, isakhiwo sabo sekhemikhali sahluke kakhulu. Ubukho beqela le-hydroxyl e-Iyopropanol lunika umlinganiso wepolar, owenza ukuba ibonakale ngamanzi. I-Iyopropyl, ngaphandle kweQela le-hydroxyl, alikho ipropathi. Ke ngoko, ngelixa i-Iyopropanol ifumana izicelo ezininzi zemveliso, ukusetyenziswa kwe-Iyopropyl zilinganiselwe.
