Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structures of compounds that are given in molecular model form are to be drawn, wedges and dashes is to be used to show stereochemistry.
Concept introduction:
Molecular model of the chemical compound represents the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms and bonds between them. The atoms are represented by sphere and connected by rods which represent the bonds.
There are three types of lines used in the line–wedge–dash structure that are represented in three-dimensional form.
Wedges represent the bonds toward viewer, dashes represent the bonds away from the viewer, and solid lines represent the bonds in the plane of the image.
In stereochemistry, the study of atoms takes place by the arrangement of atoms in three-dimension.

- How many stereoisomers are possible for this structure? How many chiral carbons are in the structure?arrow_forwardBiphenyl consists of two benzene rings connected by asingle bond. When Cl atoms substitute for some of the H atoms,polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are formed. There are over 200 different PCBs, but only six with one Cl on each ring. Draw these constitutional isomers.arrow_forwardDraw all possible cyclic isomers for C4H8 and name all isomers.arrow_forward
- We have learned that heat of combustion increases as we increase the number of carbons in a structure. For noncyclic compounds with the same number of carbons, branching lowers the heat of combustion. For cyclic compounds with the same number of carbons, any type of strain increases the heat of combustion. Choose the compound with the highest heat of combustion:arrow_forwardDraw the structural formulas and name all cyclic isomers with the formula C5H10.arrow_forwardExplain Acyclic Alkanes Having More Than Five C Atoms ?arrow_forward
- Define Acyclic Alkanes Having One to Five C Atoms ?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of isobutylcyclopentanearrow_forwardBranched compounds are said to have weaker intermolecular forces of attraction. Therefore, between pentane, a straight-chained compound and 2-methylbutanol which exhibits branching at carbon 2, the former has stronger IMFA.
