Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Skeletal structures of molecule A should be drawn by showing the stereochemistry at the carbon-carbon double bond.
Concept Introduction:
The skeletal structure of a molecule is the formulaic representation excluding hydrogens.
(b)
Interpretation:
Stereoisomer of structure A should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Alkenes are hydrocarbon molecules that consist of a carbon-carbon double bond which has the general formula of
Isomers are the different molecules that 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.
(c)
Interpretation:
Constitutional isomer of structure A should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Alkenes are hydrocarbon molecules that consist of a carbon-carbon double bond which has the general formula of
Isomers are the different molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in molecular arrangement in the space. There are several groups of isomers.

- 1. Draw 5 constitutional isomers of compounds with molecular formula CaHsO2 using expanded or condensed structure. (a)arrow_forward5) Draw a different constitutional isomer of heptane (C₂H₁6) that contains a quaternary (4°) carbon. Then draw at least 3 other constitutional isomers.arrow_forward5) Based on the structures of lycopene and ẞ-carotene, which are two chemicals found in another common vegetable, the tomato, answer the following questions: a) Are they stereoisomers, constitutional isomers or not even isomers? b) Do you expect them to be relatively polar or nonpolar substances? Why? c) How many double bonds are in lycopene? How many in ẞ-carotene? d) As lycopene is transformed into ẞ -carotene, how many pi electrons from the double bonds are transformed into single bonds? How many new single bonds are being formed in ẞ-carotene? e) The first step of a possible mechanism for the ring closure in the transformation is outlined below (only part of the structure is shown for simplicity). Draw the product that results from this arrow pushing mechanism. Be sure to include any formal charges that arise from the carbon atoms.arrow_forward

(b) Classify the hydrogen atoms in each compound as 1°, 2°, or 3°.arrow_forward2.56 Tell whether the following pairs of compounds are identical, constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or unrelated. (a) cis-1,3-Dibromocyclohexane and trans-1,4-dibromocyclohexane (b) 2,3-Dimethylhexane and 2,3,3-trimethylpentane (c) ÇI CI andarrow_forward4. (a) Draw a skeletal (line-bond) structure for 3,4-dimethylhexane. (b) Draw a sawhorse representation of any staggered conformation of this molecule looking down the carbon-3 to carbon-4 bond. (c) Draw a Newman projection looking down the carbon-3 to carbon-4 bond of the same conformation that you drew as a sawhorse representation.arrow_forward
- 2.24 The general molecular formula for alkanes is C„H2n+2. What is the general molecular formula for: (a) Cycloalkanes (b) Alkenes (c) Alkynes (d) Cyclic hydrocarbons that contain one double bondarrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE (a) Both ethylene and acetylene are planar molecules. (b) An alkene in which each carbon of the double bond has two different groups bonded to it will show cis-trans isomerism. (c) Cis-trans isomers have the same molecular formula but a different connectivity of their atoms. (d) Cis-2-butene and trans -2-butene can be interconverted by rotation about the carbon–carbon double bond. (e) Cis-trans isomerism is possible only among appropriately substituted alkenes. (f) Both 2-hexene and 3-hexene can exist as pairs of cis-trans isomers. (g) Cyclohexene can exist as a pair of cis-trans isomers. (h) 1-Chloropropene can exist as a pair of cis-trans isomers.arrow_forwardHow are the ball-and-stick models A and B related to each other? Do they represent constitutional isomers or identical molecules?arrow_forward
