Interpretation:
From the given molecule, the plane of symmetry and relationship of the compound should be explained.
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.
Enantiomers: Two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other and they are non-supposable

- Write the letter T or F inside each box after deciding which statement is true or false. Then on the 3rd box, write the letter of your choice based on the given instructions. A if both statements are true. B if the 1st statement is false and the 2nd statement is true. C if the 1st statement is true and the 2nd statement is false. D if both statements are false. T-arrow_forwardSquare planar molecules with formula AB2C2 and octahedral molecules with formulas AB4C2 and AB3C3 feature diastereoisomers. Recall that trigonal bipyramidal geometry features two distinct positions: axial and equatorial. Draw all diastereoisomers for trigonal bipyramidal molecules with formula (a) AB4C and (b) AB3C2. You must indicate the stereochemistry using full and dashed wedges and label all positions as either axial (ax) and equatorial (eq)..arrow_forward(a) Draw all non - isomorphic unlabeled trees with six vertices.

- Draw all configurational isomers of C4H11N that are optically active.arrow_forwardFor each compound, determine whether the molecule has an internal mirror plane of symmetry. If it does, draw the mirror plane on a three-dimensional drawing of the molecule. If the molecule does not have an internal mirror plane, determine whether the structure is chiral. cis-1,2-dibromocyclobutanearrow_forwardSection 7.3 shows that the compound 2-butene exists intwo isomeric forms, which can be interconverted only bybreaking a bond (in that case, the central double bond).How many possible isomers correspond to each of the following chemical formulas? Remember that a simple rotation of an entire molecule does not give a different isomer.Each molecule contains a central CuC bond.(a) C2H2Br2(b) C2H2BrCl(c) C2HBrClFarrow_forward
- For which of the following molecules are there two unique configurations about the double bond? Explain.
