Question
Chapter 20.6, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The two ways that isoprene linkages can be linked head-to-tail to form menthol has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Terpenes are made by joining five-carbon units, usually in a head to tail-fashion.
Monoterpenes are those terpenes with two isoprene units-have 10 carbons, sesquiterpenes have 15 carbons, diterpenes have 20 carbons, triterpenes have 30 carbons and tetraterpenes have 40 carbons.
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate is the five-carbon compound used for the biosynthesis of terpenes.
Isoprene unit:
Branched end of isoprene – Head
Unbranched end of isoprene - Tail

Quantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kT
