Construct a model of methane, draw it and draw the mirror images of your structure. a)Replace one hydrogen with a blue ball, draw it and draw the mirror planes on your structure. Are the molecules superimposable? b) Replace another hydrogen with a green ball, draw it and draw the mirror planes on your structure. Are the molecules superimposable? c) Replace another hydrogen with a red ball, draw it and draw the mirror planes on your structure. Are the molecules superimposable?
7. Construct a model of methane, draw it and draw the mirror images of your structure. a)Replace one hydrogen with a blue ball, draw it and draw the mirror planes on your structure. Are the molecules superimposable? b) Replace another hydrogen with a green ball, draw it and draw the mirror planes on your structure. Are the molecules superimposable? c) Replace another hydrogen with a red ball, draw it and draw the mirror planes on your structure. Are the molecules superimposable? d)If any of the above structures have non-superimposable mirror images, build that image molecule as well and draw it using wedge and dotted lines for a 3D representation of the molecules. e) Name the enantiomers according to the R/S nomenclature, f)Construct a racemic mixture with the two chiral molecules from step (d)
