Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The possible stereoisomers of given compound are to be drawn and the pairs of enantiomers and diastereomers are to be labeled.

Concept introduction: A compound exhibits number of stereoisomers when it contains more than one stereogenic centers. The maximum number of stereoisomers a compound with n number of stereogenic centers can show is 2n. A carbon atom which is bonded to four different groups is termed as chiral center or stereogenic center. Two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers. Whereas two compounds which are neither superimposable nor mirror images to each other are known as diastereomer.

At 0oC and 1 atm, the viscosity of hydrogen (gas) is 8.55x10-5 P. Calculate the viscosity of a gas, if possible, consisting of deuterium. Assume that the molecular sizes are equal.
Indicate the correct option for the velocity distribution function of gas molecules:a) its velocity cannot be measured in any other way due to the small size of the gas moleculesb) it is only used to describe the velocity of particles if their density is very high.c) it describes the probability that a gas particle has a velocity in a given interval of velocitiesd) it describes other magnitudes, such as pressure, energy, etc., but not the velocity of the molecules
