Question
Chapter 7.SE, Problem 50AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The observation that cyclodecene can exist in both cis and trans forms, but cyclohexene cannot.
Concept introduction:
Among cis and trans isomers, the cis isomers are usually less stable due to the steric interferences that exist in these isomers. But the situation becomes quite different in the case of small and medium sized rings having up to seven atoms. In these cases twisting the ring so as to attain the trans configuration will introduce a severe strain in the molecule making them unstable. However in the case rings with eight and more carbon atoms the rings become large enough to twist without any strain leading to the existence of trans forms.
To Explain:
The observation that cyclodecene can exist in both cis and trans forms, but cyclohexene cannot.

- C. Alkenes 1. Construct a model of ethene (C₂H4) by joining two carbon atoms with a double bond. Toggle between skeletal and full Lewis structures by clicking the C-H tool. Note the trigonal planar geometry of the bonds around each carbon atom, and that the carbon-carbon double bond has restricted rotation. Observe that the six atoms in ethene all lie in the same plane, and the double bond is a fixed geometry within the molecule. 2. Add a CH3- group to each of the doubly-bonded carbons to create a four-carbon alkene with the double bond between carbons 2 and 3. Note that the CH3- groups can be attached in two different ways: Both CH3- groups on the same side of the fixed geometry of the double bond. The two CH3- groups on opposite sides of the double bond.

- A. Structural Isomerism of Alkanes Construct models for the five alkanes that have the molecular formula C6H14. All five of your models should have the same number of each type of atom, but they should have the atoms connected in a different order. Thus the molecules they represent are structural isomers of one another. Note the tetrahedral geometry of each carbon atom. Draw an extended and a condensed structure (NOT skeletal/line angle) of each structural isomer, then determine its IUPAC name. Recall that since the IUPAC name specifies the number of each type of atom and how they are connected, each structural isomer will have a different name. Each name should very specifically describe the structure.

- B. Cycloalkanes 1) Construct a model of the cyclic alkane: cyclopentane (C5H₁0). Because the five carbon atoms are locked in a ring, rotation about the single bonds is restricted; the plane of the ring a fixed geometry within the molecule. Toggle between full Lewis structures and skeletal structures by clicking the C-H tool. Model 1: Use the solid wedge tool to attach a methyl group to each of two different carbon atoms in the cyclopentane. Note the five carbons of the ring are in the plane of the paper, and the solid wedge indicates both methyls project forward, in front of the plane of the paper. Model 2: Use the solid wedge tool to attach first methyl group to one of two different carbon atoms in the cyclopentane, and use the dashed wedge tool to attach the second. Note the solid wedge indicates that one methyl projects forward, in front of the plane of the paper. The dashed wedge indicates the other methyl extends back, behind the plane of the paper.
