To illustrate the geometrical isomerism in
Concept Introduction:
Isomers which have the same structure but differ in their spatial arrangement, i.e. have different configurations, are said to be stereoisomers. This type of isomerism is called stereoisomerism and is of two kinds- optical isomerism and geometrical isomerism.
Geometrical isomers are named as cis and trans compounds, respectively, according as identical atoms or groups are on the same side or opposite sides, e.g., but-2-enes.

- How does the structure of a cycloalkane differ from that of a straight-chain or branched-chain alkane?arrow_forwardDistinguish 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. Explain.arrow_forwardSummarize the nomenclature rules for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds. Correct the following false statements regarding nomenclature of hydrocarbons. a. The root name for a hydrocarbon is based on the shortest continuous chain of carbon atoms. b. The suffix used to name all hydrocarbons is -ane. c. Substituent groups are numbered so as to give the largest numbers possible. d. No number is required to indicate the positions of double or triple bonds in alkenes and alkynes. e. Substituent groups get the lowest number possible in alkenes and alkynes. f. The ortho- term in aromatic hydrocarbons indicates the presence of two substituent groups bonded to carbon- 1 and carbon-3 in benzene.arrow_forward

- What is cis-trans isomerism in alkenes? cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene on the same or opposite side of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having different or identical substituents at the both ends of the double bond cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves having the major groups in an alkene in staggered or eclipsed conformations cis-trans isomerism in alkenes involves different location of double bond along the carbon chainarrow_forwardAlkenes and alkynes react similarly to each other. Hydrogenation, halogenation, and hydration reactions are all types of addition reactions in which the reagent adds across the multiple bond of the reactant • Hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum, palladium, or nickel. • Halogenation involves a reaction with a halogen such as Cl₂ or Br₂ to produce a dihaloalkane or dihaloalkene product. Hydration reactions take place when alkenes or alkynes react with water in the presence of a strong acid catalyst to yield an alcohol. ▼ Part A Predict the product of the reaction of 1-butene with bromine.

Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane.
