- What is the difference in bonding and in general molecular formula between an alkene and a cycloalkane with the same number of carbon atoms?arrow_forwardWhich of the following cycloalkanes could show geometric isomerism? For each that could, draw structural formulas, and name both the cis- and the trans- isomers. a. c. b. d.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_forward

(c) Alkenescontain carbon–carbon triple bonds. (d) Alkynes containcarbon–carbon double bonds. (e) Pentane is a saturatedhydrocarbon but 1-pentene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.(f) Cyclohexane is an aromatic hydrocarbon. (g) The methylgroup contains one less hydrogen atom than methane.arrow_forwardExplain why each name is incorrect, and then write a correct name.

Indicate the functional groups used that are present in the structure made for this compound.arrow_forwardThe molar heat of combustion of gaseous cyclopropane is -2089 kJ/mol; that for gaseous cyclopentane is -3317 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of combustion per CH2 group in the two cases, and account for the difference.arrow_forwardThe following names are incorrect.
