Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chirality center in nicotine molecule should be located.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with the preparation, reactions and properties of organic compounds called
Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with same molecular formula but different structural formula. Stereoisomers have same molecular and structural formula, but they have different arrangements of atoms in the three-dimensional space.
