Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The relationship should be identified for the structural formula of
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
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.

- Provide two constitutional isomers of the formula of C5H12 with no tertiary carbons.arrow_forwardThe energy difference between a tert-butyl group going from equatorial to axial in a cyclohexane is 18.3 kJ/mol. When two of the carbon atoms are replaced with oxygen atoms (molecule B) the energy difference between the two chair conformations drops to 5.9 kJ/mol. Explain this difference. (Hint: Consider what makes putting groups axial unfavorable).arrow_forwardPerspective drawings of both geometric isomers of CICH=CHCl (1,2-dichloroethene) Make two models that have different spatial arrangement of the substitutions (the two Cl atoms) across the double bond. Draw the perspective formulae for the two isomers and label them with their correct designations. What type of isomerism do these represent?arrow_forward
