(I)
Interpretation: The compounds in Exercise 26 and 28 that will exhibit cis-trans isomerism are to be stated.
Concept introduction: Organic compounds which have a similar chemical formula but different structures, i.e., the atoms that are in a different spatial arrangement, they are known as structural isomers. Cis and Trans isomers are also structural or geometrical isomers.
The substituents are on the same side of the double bond in cis isomer, while they are on the opposite side in Trans isomer.

- Explain why two different straight-chain alkanes could not be constitutional isomers.arrow_forwardDistinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forwardDistinguish precisely, and in scientific terms, the differences among items in each of the following pairs or groups. a Organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry b Saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons c Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes d Normal alkane, branched alkane e Cis and trans isomers f Structural formula, condensed line formula, molecular formula g Addition reaction, substitution reaction h Alkane, alkyl group i Monomer, polymer j Aliphatic hydrocarbon, aromatic hydrocarbon k Ortho-, meta-, para l Alcohol, aldehyde, carboxylic acid m Hydroxyl group, carbonyl group, carboxyl group n Primary, secondary, tertiary alcohols o Alcohol, ether p Aldehyde, ketone q Carboxylic acid, ester r Carboxylic acid, amide s Amine, amide t Primary, secondary, tertiary amine u Chain-growth polymer, step-growth polymerarrow_forward

- Draw Three examples of structural isomers that have the chemical formula C6H14.arrow_forwardMineral oil and Vaseline are both mixtures of alkanes, but mineral oil is a liquid at room temperature and Vaseline is a solid. Which product is composed of alkanes that contain a larger number of carbon atoms? Explain your choice.arrow_forwardThere are 11 structures (ignoring stereoisomerism) with the formula C4H8O that have no carbon branches. Draw the structures and identify the functional groups in each.arrow_forward
