Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Each pair from the following structures should be identified as constitutional isomers, stereo isomers or identical.
Concept Introduction:
Isomers are the different molecules which have the same molecular formula but differ in molecular arrangement in the space. There are several groups of isomers.
Stereoisomers are the form of isomers which have different three-dimensional orientations in the space.
Constitutional isomers are the form of isomers which have atoms bonded to each other in different ways.

Each pair from the following structures should be identified as constitutional isomers, stereo isomers or identical.
Concept Introduction:
Alkenes are hydrocarbon molecules that consist a carbon-carbon double bond which has the general formula of

- How to Naming Stereoisomers ?arrow_forwardQ2. Write the number of chiral carbon atoms and the stereoisomers for the following compound. H3CH2C CH2CH3 Br H Br Number of chiral Carbon atoms Number of stereoisomers The structures of stereoisomers The relation between each two isomers if foundarrow_forwardCyclopentane has a higher boiling point than pentane even though both compounds have the same number of carbons (49 °C vs. 36 °C). Can you suggest a reason for this phenomenon?arrow_forward
- 1- What are the functional groups in diethylstilbesterol ? 2-How many Chiral carbon atom are in diethylstilbesterol? + identify themarrow_forward8. Circle and clearly label five functional groups. 'N' `N' LOH Tubulysin D IZarrow_forwardWhy are these two structures enantiomers? They look more like structural isomers to me.arrow_forward

Select to Draw an Isomer Select to Draw an Isomer Please select a drawing or reagent from the question areaarrow_forwardE\Explain with chemical structures examples the isomerization of n- Нехane?arrow_forwardH H Question 23 of 30 Determine the relationship between the two compounds shown here. A) stereoisomers B) geometric isomers H C) constitutional isomers D) optical isomers E) They are not related. H Widarrow_forward
- Alkanes are hydrocarbons containing only single bonds. How many hydrogen atoms are in an acyclic alkane with 8 carbon atoms? H atoms: How many hydrogen atoms are in an acyclic alkane with 16 carbon atoms? H atoms:arrow_forwardFatty acids are carboxylic acids that have long hydrocarbon chains attached to a carboxylate group. How does a saturated fatty acid differ from an unsaturated fatty acid? How are they similar?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.
