Chapter 23, Problem 23.82QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula, stereoisomer and chirality should be identified for molecular formula of ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}$ alkyne.

Concept introduction:

Isomer: Molecule has same molecular formula but different structural arrangement is called isomer.

Chiral: Absence of a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry is called chiral molecule, a non-superimposable on its mirror image is called chiral. A carbon atom is attached by the four different groups is called chiral carbon.

Enantiomers: Two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other and they are non-supposable.

Diastereomers: Two stereoisomers that are non-mirror images of each other and they are non-supposable
