Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hydrocarbon with molecular formula
Concept introduction:
Radical or free radical: unpaired valence electron of an atom, molecule, or ion is called as radical.
Chiral: Four different atoms attached to a carbon atom is called chiral molecule.
Achiral: A molecula has superimposable mirror images are called achiral.
Stereoisomers: Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and they differ only in arrangement of atom in three-dimensional space.
Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.
Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called enantiomers
Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer

- There are three isomers of dichlorobenzene, one of which has now replaced naphthalene as the main constituent of mothballs. a. Identify the ortho, the meta, and the para isomers of dichlorobenzene. b. Predict the number of isomers for trichlorobenzene. c. It turns out that the presence of one chlorine atom on a benzene ring will cause the next substituent to add ortho or para to the first chlorine atom on the benzene ring. What does this tell you about the synthesis of m-dichlorobenzene? d. Which of the isomers of trichlorobenzene will be the hardest to prepare?arrow_forwardThere are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12.
