Concept introduction:
When isomeric molecules have the same molecular formula, but different bonding patterns and atomic organization, they are known as constitutional isomers.
The structural formula of a chemical compound consists of a graphic representation of the molecular structure and arrangement of atoms.
cis–trans Isomers are organic molecules that have double bonds. Attachment of two similar groups to the carbon on the same side is called cis-isomer, and if the attachment is on a different side, it is called trans-isomer.
When carbon is attached to four different groups, it is known as the chiral carbon.

- 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_forwardDraw the structural isomers of C2H4BrCl and identify which of them has a chiral center.arrow_forward5. How many isomers are there Of C6H14? 6. Aside from a halogenated alkane, what other product results from the bromination of hexane? Write the formulaarrow_forward
- An isomer of C6H12O could contain a carboxylic acid. True or false?arrow_forwardwrite the structure formulas of alkanes with molecular formula C6H14, which with chlorine give: a) three monochlorinated isomers? b) five monochlorinated isomers c) only two monochlorinated isomersarrow_forwardDraw a chiral alkene with the formula C6H12.arrow_forward
- Glucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exist predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal show below. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. Identify which carbon provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO? Give a functional isomer of glucose and draw its structure.arrow_forwardWhat are the 9 structural isomers of C4H8Cl2 ? Draw and name each isomersarrow_forwardGive the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon containingsix carbon atoms that is (a) a cyclic alkane, (b) a cyclicalkene, (c) a linear alkyne, (d) an aromatic hydrocarbon.arrow_forward
