Chapter 11, Problem 11.33P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘cis and trans cycloalkane are present with same molar formula with different connectivity.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘cis can be transferred to trans isomer by rotation of the carbon single bonded to carbon.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘cis can be transferred to trans isomer by exchanging the two groups.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘configuration means arrangement of atom in space.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

Interpret the following statement is true or false.

‘cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane and trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane are conformers.’.

Concept Introduction:

The position of the substituent attached on the carbon having restricted rotation decides the cis or trans isomerism.

If the substituent facing the same side then cis isomerism is observed while the substituent facing the opposite side then trans isomerism is observed.

Considering compounds that have the same number of carbon atoms, explain why alkanes and cycloalkanes have different molecular formulas but alkenes and cycloalkanes have the same molecular formulas.   2. Draw the condensed or line-angle structure for an alkene with the formula C5H10. 3. Draw the condensed or line-angle structure for 4 more C5H10 isomers (2 additional alkenes and 2 cyclic isomers).
