Chapter 23, Problem 23.36QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relationship should be identified for the structural formula of ${\text{C}}_5{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}$ alkene.

Concept introduction:

Isomer: Molecule has same molecular formula but different structural arrangement is called isomer.

Geometric isomerism (also known as E-Z isomerism or cis-trans isomerism): same molecular formula but different arrangement in the space. These isomers happen where you have restricted rotation in a molecule (double bond in the molecule). The functional groups are same side in the molecule is cis, the functional groups are opposite side is called trans isomer.

Constitutional isomer: (or structural) isomers differ in the connectivity they contain different functional groups and / or bonding patterns is called constitutional isomer.

Resonance: it is a process of delocalization electrons with in the molecule.

Chiral: Absence of a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry is called chiral molecule, a non-superimposable on its mirror image is called chiral. A carbon atom is attached by the four different groups is called chiral carbon.
