(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The enantiomer of carvone that smells like spearmint.

Interpretation: The enantiomer of carvone that smells like spearmint is to be identified.

Concept introduction: A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms and shows a tetrahedral geometry. The mirror image of a chiral compound is non super imposable. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist are referred as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centers.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: Whether the (R) or (S) enantiomer of carvone smells like spearmint.

Interpretation: Whether the (R) or (S) enantiomer of carvone smells spearmint is to be identified.

Concept introduction: A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms and shows a tetrahedral geometry. The mirror image of a chiral compound is non-super imposable. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist are referred as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centers.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The information that can be added to the answers in (a) and (b) with the help of the given drawings of carvone.

Interpretation: The information that can be added to the answers in (a) and (b) with the help of the given drawings of carvone is to be stated.

Concept introduction: A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms and shows a tetrahedral geometry. The mirror image of a chiral compound is non-super imposable. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist are referred as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centers.
