(a)
Interpretation: The compounds that would have same physical properties; which are trans isomers and those compounds that do not exhibit cis-trans isomerism are to be stated.
Concept introduction: Structural isomerism occurs when two compounds have same number of atoms but the spatial arrangement of the atoms is different from each other. These isomers have the same formula but their properties are different. In cis-isomers, the substituents of the double bonded carbons are on the same side of the double bond but in trans isomer, they are on opposite side of double bond.
To determine: The compounds that have same physical properties.

- Shown below is the mechanism presented for the formation of biasplatin in reference 1 from the Background and Experiment document. The amounts used of each reactant are shown. Either draw or describe a better alternative to this mechanism. (Note that the first step represents two steps combined and the proton loss is not even shown; fixing these is not the desired improvement.) (Hints: The first step is correct, the second step is not; and the amount of the anhydride is in large excess to serve a purpose.)arrow_forwardHi I need help on the question provided in the image.arrow_forwardDraw a reasonable mechanism for the following reaction:arrow_forward
- Draw the mechanism for the following reaction: CH3 CH3 Et-OH Et Edit the reaction by drawing all steps in the appropriate boxes and connecting them with reaction arrows. Add charges where needed. Electron-flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created. H± EXP.
