Concept explainers
Interpretation:The structural formulas for the given molecules need to be drawn. The mirror images of each molecule need to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:Chemical bonds are represented by single, double or triple bonds. When carbon is bonded with different atoms, this carbon is known as a chiral carbon.
Answer to Problem 7E
Carbon with different atoms is referred to as an asymmetrical carbon. If mirror image of one asymmetrical carbon compound is not super imposable over its compound, then it’s an optical active isomer.
Explanation of Solution
Enantiomers are chiral molecules which aremirror images of each other. The molecules are non-superimposable on one another.
The structural formulas and mirror images of CH4, CFH3, CClFH2 and CBrClFH are as follows:
Here, asymmetric compound have non-superimposable mirror images.

Explain the basis of approximating the summation to an integral in translational motion.arrow_forwardQuantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kTarrow_forward
