Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.62AP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The two conformers of butane using skeletal structures.
Introduction:
Skeletal structure shows the bonds between the carbon atoms in the form of lines in two dimensions. The connection between the two carbons is indicated by a line. The number of
Conformational isomers are the isomers that can be interconverted when there is a rotation about the single bonds. These isomers are the form of stereoisomers having the same connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangements. For example, gauche, eclipsed are the conformational isomers of one another.

- Distinguish 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.
