Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compounds showing cis-trans isomerism for the given compounds has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.
(b)
Interpretation:
The isomers shown in part (a) has to be drawn and labeled.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.

- 'arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds can exist as cis-trans isomers? b) For those compounds that can exist as cis and trans isomers, draw and label the isomers. 1. CH3CH=CHCH2CH2CH3 2. CH3CH2CCH2CH3=CHCH3 3. CH3CH=CHCH3 4. CH3CH2CH=CH2arrow_forward3. Draw all the isomers (including structural and geometric isomers) of CH;Br; which contain a carbon-carbon double bond.arrow_forward
- Explain what geometric isomers are. Use appropriate terminology and include the following in your explanation: Cis vs. trans isomers. Relative energy levels. Give an example of a pair of geometric isomers. Don’t use Maleic/Fumaric!arrow_forwardWhich of the ff. molecules can exist as cis and trans isomer?arrow_forwardFatty acids are molecules with a carboxylic acid on one end and long hydrocarbon chain on the other. The sodium salts of fatty acids (such as sodium strearate, shown below) are commonly used in soaps to trap nonpolar dirt and grease particles. Soap does not work well in "hard water, which is water with high concentration of magensium and calcium ions (often found in water obtained from wells) Explain this observation at a molecular level.arrow_forward
- Explain What are conformational isomerism?arrow_forward6) Draw and build 3 isomers for the formula GH2CI2. a. Label one pair as constitutional isomers. b. Label another pair as configurational isomers. Apply the labels "cis" and "trans" to the configurational isomers. C.arrow_forwardWhat is isomer? Name by typing the isomers of the compound whose closed formula is C4H9Cl. Which of these isomers can have chiral structure. Examine it from a stereochemical point of view.arrow_forward
