(a)
Interpretation:
Geometric isomers possible for the given structural formulas has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Geometric isomers are the isomers of same compound which differ in the relative positions the atoms occupy in space. For
To draw: cis-trans isomer for the given structural formulas.
(b)
Interpretation:
Geometric isomers possible for the given structural formulas has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Geometric isomers are the isomers of same compound which differ in the relative positions the atoms occupy in space. For alkene geometric isomers are possible if the carbon atoms in the end of the double bond are not bonded to same groups or atoms. Usually trans isomer is more stable than cis isomer as the steric hindrance will be very less.
To draw: cis-trans isomer for the given structural formulas.

Write the structural formulas of the compounds produced by the hydrolysis of this compound.arrow_forwardWhich of the following organic compounds is in the cis isomer for CH3CH₂CH=CHCH3? a) b) H₂CH₂C H₂CH₂C. H H CH₂ CH₂ Downloa H c) H₂C H CH₂CH₂ d) None of these choices is correct.arrow_forwardDraw all the isomers including structural and geometric isomers of C2H2Br2 which contain a carbon-carbon double bondarrow_forward
- How many different isomers can be derived from ethylene if two hydrogen atoms are replaced by a fluorine atom and chlorine atom? Draw their structures and name them.arrow_forwardOrganic compounds are classified into chemical families on the basis of similarities in chemical properties; these similarities are primarily due to the presence of characteristic arrangements of atoms known as ___.arrow_forwardIdentify the functional group of the given molecule and indicate the classification if there is any. Example: monosubstituted alkene primary alcohol carboxylic acidarrow_forward
- What is the difference between a stereoisomer and a structural isomer?arrow_forwardHow many structural isomers are there for a five-member straight carbon chain with one double bond? For a six-member straight carbon chain with two double bonds?arrow_forward1. Describe how geometric isomers are different from structural isomers. 2. Why is it possible for alkenes and cylcoalkanes to have cis-trans isomers but not alkanes? 3. How are cis-trans isomers shown in diagrams?arrow_forward
- Is the general formula of a cycloalkanes the same as the general formula of an alkane, CnH2n+2? Draw any structural diagram to illustrate your answer.arrow_forwardDistinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forwardAlcohols are very useful starting materials for the production of many different compounds. The following conversions, starting with 1-butanol, can be carried out in two or more steps. Show the steps (reactants/catalysts) you would follow to carry out the conversions, drawing the formula for the organic product in each step. For each step, a major product must be produced. (See Exercise 62.) (Hint: In the presence of H+, an alcohol is converted into an alkene and water. This is the exact reverse of the reaction of adding water to an alkene to form an alcohol.) a. 1-butanol butane b. 1-butanol 2-butanonearrow_forward
