Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The questions based on the fatty acids are to be answered.
Concept introduction: Isomers are the chemical compounds which have the identical chemical formula but different structures.
Constitutional isomers are those isomers which differ in the connectivity of the atoms within the molecule.
Stereoisomers are the isomers which differ only in the three-dimensional arrangement of the same molecule.
Condensed formula is that in which vertical lines are used very frequently to show the carbon atoms and which shows least number of other atoms.
To determine: If the given pair of fatty acids are the constitutional isomers, stereoisomers or unrelated compounds.
(b)
To determine: If the given pair of fatty acids are the constitutional isomers, stereoisomers or unrelated compounds.
(c)
To determine: If the given pair of fatty acids are the constitutional isomers, stereoisomers or unrelated compounds.
