Chapter 16.4, Problem 6P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for ketoheptose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same structural formula but they differ in the arrangement of atoms in space.

Enantiomer:

An enantiomer also known as an optical isomer is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-supposable.

The number of possible stereoisomers is calculated as 2n where n is the number of asymmetric carbons present in a compound.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for aldoheptose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same structural formula but they differ in the arrangement of atoms in space.

In intercalation compounds, their sheets can be neutral or have a negative or positive charge, depending on the nature of the incorporated species and its structure. Is this statement correct?
This thermodynamic cycle describes the formation of an ionic compound MX2 from a metal element M and nonmetal element X in their standard states.  What is the lattice enthalpy of MX2 ? What is the enthalpy formation of MX2 ? Suppose both the heat of sublimation of M and the ionization enthalpy of M were smaller. Would MX2 be more stable? Or less? or impossible to tell without more information?
