Fill in the blanks in the given paragraph with the most appropriate term from the following: chiral, cis, constitutional isomers, enantiomers, resonance structures, stereoisomers, trans. Isomers are different compounds that have the same molecular formula. Isomers that have their atoms connected in a different order (branched versus unbranched chain, for example) or a different sequence of bond types (C=CCC versus CC=CC, for example) are termed ________. Isomers with the same order of connections and sequence of bond types, but which differ in the spatial arrangement of the atoms are called _________. This is often seen in compounds where substituents may be on the same or opposite sides of a carbon-carbon double bond. Substituents on the same side are described as __________: those on opposite sides are_________. A different kind of isomerism characterizes a ______ molecule, that is, a molecule with a structure that allows for two nonsuperimposable mirror-image forms. Two nonsuperimposable mirror images are ___________ of the other.

- For the compound below, state its systematic name, its functional group(s), and whether or not it is chiral. CH3CH2CH=CHCH3arrow_forwardThe (R,R) isomer of methylphenidate (Ritalin) is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The (S,S) isomer is an antidepressant. Identify the two chiral carbons in the structure below. Is this the (R,R) or the (S,S) isomer? Draw the other isomer.arrow_forwardit is enantiomers, cis-trans isomers, constitutional isomers or same molecule?arrow_forward
- On a blank sheet of paper, draw the constitutional isomers of C6H14?arrow_forwardFor each of the following compounds,determine whether each is optically active. For optically active compounds, identify the chiral carbon: ethane, 2-chloro-2-methylbutane, CH3CH(NH2)COOH, CH3CH2CHClCH3and CH3CH2CH2CH3. And for non-optical active compounds, just provide the structure of the compoundarrow_forwardA tetrahedral carbon atom will be chiral if it has four ______ groups attached to it Fill in the blankarrow_forward
- arent constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, and enantiomers basically the same thing?arrow_forwardCan you please show step by step how to rank the atoms surrounding the chiral centers to determine if the configurations are R or S? For example, for NH2- The N attached to C should be 1 I believe The H attached to that C should be 4 I believe The C closer to the alkyl group should be ___________ and why that is___________. The other C should be ________ and why that is ________________. Thank you.arrow_forward3,4-Dimethylpent-1-ene has the formula CH2“CH¬CH(CH3)¬CH(CH3)2. When pure (R)-3,4-dimethylpent-1-ene is treated with hydrogen over a platinum catalyst, the product is (S)-2,3-dimethylpentane. The reactant is named (R), but the product is named (S). Does this name change imply a change in the spatial arrangement of the groups around the chiral center? So why does the name switch from (R) to (S)?arrow_forward
- Why are the chiral carbons (S) and (R)? Shouldn't they be both (S)?arrow_forwardSketch this molecule and then draw a circle around all the chiral carbons that you can find. 1. Classify the type of isomerism (if any) shown by the compounds below.arrow_forwardHow many chiral centers are there in the following structure?arrow_forward
