Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Concept introduction:
Isomerism: Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula with different arrangements of atoms.
- • Structural isomers: They have same molecular formula but different bonding arrangements of atoms.
- • Stereoisomers: They differ in their spatial arrangement of atoms.
Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules that determine the properties of the molecules and characteristic reactions taking place in it.
Ether: Ether is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by an oxygen atom. It is represented as
Alcohol: It is an organic compound where it contains at least one
(b)
Interpretation:
Functional group present in the given compound has to be identified and an isomer of the given compound with a different functional group has to be drawn.

- 1a. . Isomers are responsible for the diversity of organic compounds. true or false? b. Positional isomers are molecules with different arrangements of the carbon skeleton but with the same chemical formula. true or false? c.)arrow_forward1. a. Draw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomers. b. Draw and name the eight cycloalkane structures of formula C6H12 that do not show geometric isomerism. c. Draw and name the four cycloalkanes of formula C6H12 that do have cis-trans isomers. 2. Each of the following descriptions applies to more than one alkane. In each case, draw and name two structures that match the description. (a) an isopropylheptane (b) a diethyldecane (c) a cis-diethylcyclohexane (d) a trans-dihalocyclopentane (e) a (2,3-dimethylpentyl)cycloalkane (f) a bicyclononane 3. 2. refer to the photo attached and answer the ff.3-33, 3-34arrow_forward1. The chemical formula C4H100 results in four alcohols and three ethers for a total of seven structural isomers. Draw pairs of structural formulas for these molecules that illustrate positional and functional isomerism on a sheet of paper. You will be drawing a total of four formulas. Label each pair as positional or functional.arrow_forward

- How does the structure of an alcohol differ from an ether? Describe how an aldehyde differs in structure from a ketone. Thiols are compounds which resemble alcohols, except that the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom. Draw the analogous thiol for the four carbon alcohol in Table 1. Describe the structural difference between carboxylic acids and esters. Are ethers polar molecules? Would you expect ethers to have higher or lower boiling points than alkanes (circle one)? Explain. Pentane (an alkane) has a boiling point of 36 °C. Does the data agree with your prediction? explain why this could be the casearrow_forward2. Classify each compound as an alcohol, aldehyde, sugar, ketone, methyl ketone, or hydrocarbon (there should only be one of each type of compound).
