Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Chiral centers in phenylalanine have to be marked. Using wedge-dash drawings, both the chiral isomers of it has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Isomerism: Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula with different arrangements of atoms.
- • Structural isomers: They have same molecular formula but different bonding arrangements of atoms.
- • Stereoisomers: They differ in their spatial arrangement of atoms.
Chirality: It refers to an atom in a molecule that contains four different substituents.
(b)

- Scenario Four Read the following extract: “A polymer is a substance which has a molecular structure comprising of a large number of identical molecules covalently bonded together to form a long chain structure. Many synthetic organic materials are polymers, such as nylon, polythene and Kevlar.” The extract mentions ‘covalent bonds’. Explain what these are, and the formation of different types that can exist i.e. single, multiple etc. Do some research and identify 4 simply covalently bonded molecules. Draw dot and cross diagrams of each to show the bond formation of each of your 4 examples.arrow_forwardDetermine the R/S configuration of each chiral center in the molecules shown below. (Do not include lone pairs as an attachment when identifying the chiral centers.)arrow_forwardNeed correct.answer please don't copy other answer Clear handwriting please.arrow_forward
