(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the given ketone compound exhibit rotational symmetry has to be checked.

Concept Introduction:

A molecule is said to possess a symmetry element if the molecule is unchanged in appearance after applying the symmetry operation corresponding to the symmetry element.

There are different types of symmetries such as rotational, reflectional, inversion, and improper rotation.

A molecule has rotational symmetry only if you rotate less than one full turn; it is the same as the original shape.

For example,

The cyclobutane has rotational symmetry; it is same as the original shape after 900 rotation.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the given ketone compound exhibit reflectional symmetry has to be checked.

Concept Introduction:

A molecule is said to possess a symmetry element if the molecule is unchanged in appearance after applying the symmetry operation corresponding to the symmetry element.

There are different types of symmetries such as rotational, reflectional, inversion, and improper rotation.

Reflectional symmetry is also known as line symmetry is a type of balance in which a center line called line of symmetry (plane of symmetry) divides an object in half so that one side mirrors the other.

Plane of symmetry: When structure of the compound can be cut into two equal halves along the plane. Then such plane is called as plane of symmetry.

Example for a molecule which has reflectional symmetry is,

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the compound is chiral or achiral and if it is a chiral compound its enantiomer has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

A molecule has rotational symmetry only if you rotate less than one full turn; it is the same as the original shape.

Chiral center: A chiral center is defined as the tetrahedral carbon atom in an organic molecule that is connected to four non-identical groups/substituents. It is sometimes known as a stereo genic center.

Chirality: The geometric property of molecules where the structure of the molecule and its mirror image are not superimposable is known as chirality. Chiral molecules are optically active and they can rotate the plane polarized light.

Chirality is not dependent on the presence or absence of rotational symmetry. It is only dependent on the presence or absence of reflectional symmetry.

Calculate the atomic packing factor of diamond knowing that the number of Si atoms per cm3 is 2.66·1022 and that the atomic radii of silicon and oxygen are, respectively, 0.038 and 0.117 nm.
A pdf file of your hand drawn, stepwise mechanisms for the reactions. For each reaction in the assignment, you must write each mechanism three times (there are 10 reactions, so 30 mechanisms). (A) do the work on a tablet and save as a pdf., it is expected to write each mechanism out and NOT copy and paste the mechanism after writing it just once. Everything should be drawn out stepwise and every bond that is formed and broken in the process of the reaction, and is expected to see all relevant lone pair electrons and curved arrows.
