(a)
Interpretation:
The double bonds in conjugated linoleic acid A has to be labeled as cis or trans.
Concept Introduction:
Cis isomer: When the two
Trans isomer: When the two functional groups are present on the opposite side of the double bond, then the compound is said to be as trans isomer.
(b)
Interpretation:
The stereoisomer of compound A has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The melting point of compound A and its stereoisomer has to be compared.
(d)
Interpretation:
The isomers of linoleic acid are stereoisomer or constitutional isomer has to be mentioned.
Concept Introduction:
Constitutional isomer is nothing but the structural isomer which has same molecular formula but differ in their connectivity of atoms.
