Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The structure of five constitutional isomers with molecular formula C4H8 has to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Isomers are the compounds having same molecular formula but different structures. Constitutional isomers are the isomers have different connectivity of atoms. The degree of unsaturation in a compound having molecular formula CaHbNcOd is expressed as follows:
Degree of unsaturation
Where, a = number of carbon
b = number of hydrogen atoms
c = number of nitrogen atoms
(b)
Interpretation: The structure of nine constitutional isomers with molecular formula C7H16 has to be drawn.

A) The structure must be cyclic for aromatic but not antiaromatic compounds? B) Antiaromatic compounds have at least one sp3 hybridized atom in the ring C) Antiaromatic compounds can assume a chair-like structure while aromatic compounds are nearly flat D) Aromatic compounds cannot have a charged atom in the structure E) Only aromatic compounds follow Huckle's rule.arrow_forward
- 2. The molecules shown below are four terpineol isomers. They are isolated from plants and have distinct aromas. For example, a -terpineol is a common perfume ingredient and smells similar to lilacs. Hol H-O- a-terpineol B-terpineol Y-terpineol 4-terpineol A) Draw a structural isomer of terpineol that meet the following criteria. You should draw one unique structure for each set. You must draw each molecule twice, once as a skeletal structure and once as a complete Lewis structure showing all atoms, bonds, and lone pairs of electrons. i. Does not have a ring. ii. Has an E alkene. iii. Has a secondary alcohol. iv. Does not contain an alcohol. B) Draw a complete Lewis structure of a-terpineol showing all bonds, atoms and lone pairs of electrons.arrow_forwardHow are the ball-and-stick models A and B related to each other?
