Chapter 23, Problem 23.94QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given molecule, the plane of symmetry and relationship of the compound should be explained.

Concept introduction:

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

Geometric isomerism (also known as E-Z isomerism or cis-trans isomerism): same molecular formula but different arrangement in the space. These isomers happen where you have restricted rotation in a molecule (double bond in the molecule). The functional groups are same side in the molecule is cis, the functional groups are opposite side is called trans isomer.

Constitutional isomer: (or structural) isomers differ in the connectivity they contain different functional groups and / or bonding patterns is called constitutional isomer.

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