Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The line and wedge structure for the two enantiomers of the given allene is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Isomers are the compounds sharing same molecular formula but differ in the arrangements of atoms and molecules. The stereoisomer is two or more compounds that differ in the spatial arrangement of the atoms. Enantiomers are the type of stereoisomers that are non-super imposable mirror images of each other. The enantiomers exhibit same physical and chemical properties except their behavior that they show towards polarized light.
(b)
Interpretation:
The specific rotation of the other enantiomer of the given molecule is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Those compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different spatial arrangements of atoms are known as stereoisomers.
Enantiomers are the type of stereoisomers that are non-super imposable mirror images of each other. The enantiomers exhibit same physical and chemical properties except their behavior that they show towards polarized light.
Specific rotation is an intensive property of optically active compounds. It is the ability to rotate the plain-polarized light.

- Identify the missing organic reactants in the following reaction: X + Y H+ two steps Note: This chemical equation only focuses on the important organic molecules in the reaction. Additional inorganic or small-molecule reactants or products (like H2O) are not shown. In the drawing area below, draw the skeletal ("line") structures of the missing organic reactants X and Y. You may draw the structures in any arrangement that you like, so long as they aren't touching. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
