Chapter 25, Problem 36QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the possible structural formulae for ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}$ alkenes are to be represented, the relationship of constitutional or stereoisomer for all possible structural isomers and chirality are to be identified for all structural isomers.

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.
