Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stereoisomerism of the starting material
Concept introduction:
The form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and differ in their orientation of atoms is said to be stereoisomerism. In other words, if the structure of the molecules can vary but their molecular formula is same, then it is stereoisomerism.
(b)
Interpretation:
The isomers that forms the product
Concept introduction:
Isomers are molecules that have same chemical formula and different chemical structures. In other words, the molecules contain same number of atoms, but their arrangements are different.
