Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given pair of compounds related as constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or identical has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Constitutional isomer is nothing but the structural isomer which has same molecular formula but differ in their connectivity of atoms.
Stereoisomers are spatial isomers which have same molecular formula and have differ in special arrangements which means the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space are arranged in different manner.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the given pair of compounds related as constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or identical has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- Distinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active.

- ISOMERISMarrow_forwardCompounds that can cause cancer is called carcinogens. Many pesticides are carcinogenic. Based on your knowledge of organic chemistry, what could be the reason behind the carcinogenicity of pesticides? O a. Due to the presence of C-X bond O b. Due to the low boiling point of pesticides Due to the presence of C-C double bond O d. Due to stereoisomerism posses by pesticidesarrow_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.
