Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has tetrahedral geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

Concept introduction:

Those compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called isomerism. The isomers are generally classified as structural isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has square planar geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has pyramidal geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

assign the stereochemical configuration of the selected tetrahedral carbon chiral centers (R, S or N (not a chiral center)) and the alkene (E, Z or N (not a stereocenter)) that are indicated by the arrows (note that you do not have to assign the configuration of every chiral center in the molecule). If the atom in question is not a chiral center or is not a stereocenter circle N for neither.

Section 7.3 shows that the compound 2-butene exists intwo isomeric forms, which can be interconverted only bybreaking a bond (in that case, the central double bond).How many possible isomers correspond to each of the following chemical formulas? Remember that a simple rotation of an entire molecule does not give a different isomer.Each molecule contains a central CuC bond.(a) C2H2Br2(b) C2H2BrCl(c) C2HBrClF
