Interpretation:
The diastereomers structures for 2,3-diphenyl-2 butene are to be written and (E)-(Z) nomenclature has to be assigned.
Concept introduction:
The molecules that are nonsuperimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral molecules.
A pair of two mirror images that are nonidentical is known as enantiomers, which are optically active.
The objects or molecules that are superimposable with their mirror images are achiral objects or molecules and these objects have a centre of symmetry or plane of symmetry.
The achiral compounds in which plane of symmetry is present internally and consists of chiral centres are known as meso compounds, but they are optically inactive.
Diastereomers are the stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other and are not superimposable on each other.
They possess different physical as well as chemical properties, because of difference in orientations.
In
In alkenes, if the higher priority group on both the carbon is on the opposite side, configuration is termed as E-configuration.

- The number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate is given by N. The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forward
