Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The most appropriate term is to be filled in the blanks in the given paragraph from the given information.
Concept introduction:
When isomeric molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in bonding patterns and atomic organization, they are known as constitutional isomers.
Resonance structures have two or more possible electron structures.
cis–trans isomers are organic moleculesthatcontain double bonds. Attachment of two similar groups to the carbon atom on the same side is called a cis-isomer and if the attachment takes place on a different side, it is called a trans-isomer.
Enantiomers is one of the two molecules that are mirror images of each other and are nonsuperimposable.
In an organic molecule, if the carbon atom is attached with four different groups then this molecule is known as a chiral molecule.

- There are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12. Draw structures of the five isomers in which the longest chain has six carbon atoms, and give the name of each. Are any of these isomers chiral? (There are also eight isomers in which the longest chain has five carbon atoms, and four isomers in which the longest chain has four carbon atoms. How many can you find?)arrow_forwardEstradiol is a female hormone with the following structure: How many chiral carbon atoms are in estradiol?arrow_forwardFor the compound below, state its systematic name, its functional group(s), and whether or not it is chiral.

- Write the name of the following compounds. Which of them are stereoisomers? Which of them are optically active? Use cis-trans, (E)(Z) nomenclature and assign the absolute configuration (R),(S), if any to each chiral center.arrow_forwardA tetrahedral carbon atom will be chiral if it has four ______ groups attached to it Fill in the blankarrow_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_forward
- 3,4-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_forwardOrganic Chemistry HW: CANNOT BE HAND DRAWN 2,6-dimethyloct-2-ene Provide a detailed typed explanation of Stereoisomers show the expanded structure of your molecule. Calculate the maximum number of possible stereoisomers of your molecule using the following formula: Maximum number of possible stereoisomers = 2n (where n= the number of chiral carbons in your molecule). This calculation does not include E- or Z- isomers for any compounds containing double bonds Type or using a computer program "draw" the possible stereoisomers of the molecule. Note that E-, Z- isomers of each stereoisomer are also possible and would not be accounted for by the formula above; draw any E- or Z- isomers.arrow_forwardHow many chiral centers are there in this specific molecule?arrow_forward
- For 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_forwardHow many chiral canters do we have in the structure?arrow_forwardit is enantiomers, cis-trans isomers, constitutional isomers or same molecule?arrow_forward
