Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The optical isomers and the chiral carbons in
Concept Introduction:
Optical isomers: The compounds that form non-superimposable mirror images of each are called optical isomers.
Chiral molecules: Optical isomers that occur with four different groups attached to the same carbon atom are called as chiral carbon atom and the molecules are called as chiral molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
The optical isomers and the chiral carbons in

- 3. How many kinds of H are there in the isomers of dimethylcyclopropane?arrow_forwarda. How many structural isomers exist for C4H9OH? b. (i) Write condensed structural formulas, and sketch skeletal structures for each structural isomer of C4H9OH. (ii) How many structural isomer(s) is / are chiral?arrow_forwardFor each of the following compounds,determine whether each is optically active. For optically active compounds, identify the chiral carbon: ethane, 2-chloro-2-methylbutane, CH3CH(NH2)COOH, CH3CH2CHClCH3and CH3CH2CH2CH3. And for non-optical active compounds, just provide the structure of the compoundarrow_forward
