Concept explainers
(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.
(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:
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.

- It is easy to imagine a cyclohexane as a flat hexagon and a lot of the time we draw it that way. Looking at 1,3,5-triethylcyclohexane we cannot tell the stability of the molecule from looking at the flat 2D drawing. Explain why we need to look at the 3D configuration and what conformation (axial,equatorial) would each of the three ethyl groups be in for the most stable configuration.arrow_forwardDraw a structural formula and Draw the structure of a compound that is a stereoisomerarrow_forwardThe unsaturation number or degree of unsaturation (U) can be used to determine the number of rings and multiple bonds in a compound from its molecular formula. Given a structure, you can determine the number of hydrogens without having to count them explicitly. Consider three compounds and their degree of unsaturation. (a) A compound A has the molecular formula C7H13ClN2OC7H13ClN2O. How many rings and/or π bonds does it contain?arrow_forward
- 5. For the molecules below 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. b) RSN RSN HO" RSN EZ N RSN НО.

- The molecule 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene contains three stereogenic sites: a double bond that can be cis- or trans- and two chirality centers that can be either (R) or (S). Draw structures for and name all possible stereoisomers of 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene. HINT: That means a possible total of 2³ stereoisomers, but there's also the potential for high symmetry or meso stereoisomers, which then reduces the total number of possibilities. Put boxes around pairs of enantiomers, and label meso compounds as "meso," as appropriate.arrow_forwardThe compound whose structure is shown here is acetyl acetone. It exists in two forms:the enol form and the keto form The molecule reacts with OH–to form an anion, [CH3COCHCOCH3] (often abbreviatedacac–for acetylacetonate ion). One or the most interesting aspects of this anion is thatone or more of them can react with transition metal cations to give stable, highlycolored compounds (a) Are the keto and enol forms of acetylacetone resonance forms? Explain youranswer.(b) What is the hybridization or each atom (except H) in the enol form? What changesin hybridization occur when it is transformed into the keto form?(c) What are the electron-pair geometry and molecular geometry around each C atomin the keto and enol forms?
