Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compounds showing cis-trans isomerism for the given compounds has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.
(b)
Interpretation:
The isomers shown in part (a) has to be drawn and labeled.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.

- Replace one atom in CH3CH2Br by another Br atom to form a model of a compound with the formula C2H4Br2. Draw projection drawings and perspective drawings of all possible isomers. Does replacing different hydrogen atoms in CH3CH2Br to produce C2H4Br2 give different isomers? (i.e. Are all the hydrogen atoms equivalent?) If there are multiple isomers, what type of isomerism do they represent?arrow_forwardBased from the figures below, which of the following statements is correct?I. A is an skeletal isomer of D while B and C are positional isomers.II. B and C are alkynes with six Carbons but their structures are different.III. All of the above have the possibility of a cis-trans isomerism.arrow_forward3. Which of the following does not show conformational isomerism and Explain the reason for each? A. Ethane B. Ethene C. Ethyne D. Methane. 5. Why conformational isomers generally can not be separated from one another at room temperature?arrow_forward
- 1a. . Isomers are responsible for the diversity of organic compounds. true or false? b. Positional isomers are molecules with different arrangements of the carbon skeleton but with the same chemical formula. true or false? c.)arrow_forwardConsider the compound C₂H₃N. Which one of the structures in Figure 4 is the best representation of this compound based on your current knowledge? * A B C D All these structures are good representations of the compound.arrow_forward13. When a chain of carbons has all single C-C covalent bonds with a single C=C double bond such that the C backbone looks like this R1-C-C=C-C-R2 this molecule has two very different shapes. These 2 alternate shapes are called: a) geometric isomers b) structural isomers c) stereo isomers d) none are correctarrow_forward
- Which of these formulas is(are) not valid for octane? A. C8H18B. C8H20C. C8H16D. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3E. CH3(CH2)6 CH3arrow_forwardConstitutional isomers are compounds which have the same molecular formula but different structural formulae. They are different compounds with different physical and chemical properties.a. Rearrange your model of n-hexane to make as many possible isomers of C6H14 as you can. Draw the structural formula and write down the IUPAC name for each isomer that you make.b. Constitutional isomers can also have different functional groups. Make all possible isomers of C3H8O. Write down the structural formulae and IUPAC names for all the compounds you make. Hint: Consider alcohol and ether functional groups.arrow_forwardDraw an isomer for the molecule C4H8. Do not draw geometric isomers (i.e., cis-trans isomers).arrow_forward
- What are conformational isomers?arrow_forward1.Draw all possible isomers of the following compound 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexene 2-isobutyl-3-methyl-1-hexene 2.Draw the structural isomers of C4H7I. How many can exist as geometric isomers? 3.Identify each pair of compounds in the image below as identical, structural isomers, geometric isomers or not related.arrow_forwardThe addition of four identical monomer molecules produces the naturally occurring molecule shown below.
