Chapter 11, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘cis and trans cycloalkane are present with same molar formula with different connectivity.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘cis can be transferred to trans isomer by rotation of the carbon single bonded to carbon.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘cis can be transferred to trans isomer by exchanging the two groups.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘configuration means arrangement of atom in space.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane and trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane are conformers.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.
