Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the condensed structures for 2,3-dimethyl-2-pentene whether cis-trans isomers exist or not has to be given. And if it exists, both the isomers has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Condensed structures: A condensed structures only shows the total number of atoms but not bonds exist between the atoms. The vertical and horizontal line which represents bonding all should be omitted.
Line structure: In organic compounds, the series of atoms in the compound are bonded together which shown by drawing a line between them. End of line segment represents carbon
Predicting cis-trans isomers:
In general, the
Cis-isomer: In cis-configuration, the two bulkier substituents of the double bond are on the same side.
Trans-isomer: In trans-configuration, the two bulkier substituents of the double bond are on the opposite side.
(b)
Interpretation:
From the both condensed and line structures for 2-Methyl-2-hexene whether cis-trans isomers exist or not has to be given. And if it exists, both the isomers has to be drawn.
