Chapter 11, Problem 11A.24E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The isomeric relationship between 1-chlorohexane and chlorocyclohexane has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Structural isomers:  Structural isomers of the compounds have same molecular formula but difference in the spatial arrangement of atoms.

Stereoisomers:  Stereoisomers have the same connectivity but difference in the spatial arrangement of atoms.

Geometrical isomers:  In geometrical isomers, atoms have different arrangements on either side of a double bond above or below the ring of a cycloalkane or cycloalkane.  If the atoms are present on the same side of the double bond, then it is cis-isomer and if they are present on the opposite side of the double bond, then it is trans-isomer.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The isomeric relationship between 1-butene and 2-butene has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The isomeric relationship between 1,2-dichloroethene has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
