(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of the naturally occurring palmitoleic acid with a cis double bond should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers are the form of isomers which have different three-dimensional orientations in the space.
Cis-trans isomers are fall under geometric isomerism.
Cis isomers- two different groups are on the same side of the double bond.
Trans isomers- two different groups are on opposite sides of the double bond.
(b)
Interpretation:
A stereoisomer of the palmitoleic acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers are the form of isomers which have different three-dimensional orientations in the space.
Cis-trans isomers are fall under geometric isomerism.
(c)
Interpretation:
A constitutional isomer of the palmitoleic acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Isomers are the different molecules which has the same molecular formula but differ in molecular arrangement in the space. There are several groups of isomers.
Constitutional isomers are the form of isomers which have atoms bonded to each other in different ways.
