(a)
Interpretation: The maximum number of stereoisomers that could exist for 1,2-cyclohexanediol needs to be determined, if the formula is 2n ( n = number of stereocenters).
Concept Introduction: Organic compounds are the compounds which are mainly composed C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The compounds with same molecular formula and different structural formula are called as isomers. Isomers can be classified as constitutional isomers and stereoisomers.
Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formula. Stereoisomers have same molecular and structural formula but they have different arrangement of atoms in the three-dimensional space.
Optical isomers are type of stereoisomers which have same molecular and structural formula but they have different arrangement of atoms in the three-dimensional space. The essential condition for a molecule to be optical isomer is the presence of chiral carbon atom.
(b)
Interpretation: The reason of three stereoisomers of 1, 2-cyclohexanediol rather than calculated value 4 needs to be explained.

- Stereoisomers share the same connectivity and differ only in the way their atoms are arranged in space. Draw the structure of a compound that is a stereoisomer of cis-1,2- dibromocyclobutane. (Note that the question asks for a different stereoisomer of the named compound and not the named compound itself.) • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.arrow_forwardch 7 1: photosynthesis uses 690-nm light to convert CO2 and H2O into glucose and O2. claculate the frequncy of this light.arrow_forwardSquare planar molecules with formula AB2C2 and octahedral molecules with formulas AB4C2 and AB3C3 feature diastereoisomers. Recall that trigonal bipyramidal geometry features two distinct positions: axial and equatorial. Draw all diastereoisomers for trigonal bipyramidal molecules with formula (a) AB4C and (b) AB3C2. You must indicate the stereochemistry using full and dashed wedges and label all positions as either axial (ax) and equatorial (eq)..arrow_forward
