EBK GENERAL CHEMISTRY
- Distinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forwardWhat are aromatic hydrocarbons? Benzene exhibits resonance. Explain. What are the bond angles in benzene? Give a detailed description of the bonding in benzene. The electrons in benzene are delocalized, while the electrons in simple alkenes and alkynes are localized. Explain the difference.arrow_forward3. Which of the following compounds exists as cis-trans isomers? Draw the structures of those that do. a. CH2 = CHCl2 b. C2HSCH = CHC2H5 с. СH:CH-CHCHCHCHS d. CH;C=CCH2CH2CH3 e. CH;CH=CHC4H9 (iso) f. CH;CH2CH=C(CH3) (C2H5)arrow_forward
- 6. Briefly identify the important differences between an alkene and an alkyne. How are they similar? A. The alkene (CH3)2CHCH2CH=CH2 is named 4-methyl-1-pentene. What is the name of (CH3)2CHCH₂C=CH? B. Do alkynes show cis-trans isomerism? Explain.arrow_forwarda. How many structural isomers exist for C4H9OH? b. (i) Write condensed structural formulas, and sketch skeletal structures for each structural isomer of C4H9OH.

Draw the most stable conformation of 1,4-dichlorobutane using wedges and dashes to represent bonding coming out of the paper and going behind the paper, respectively. This should look like a zigzag. You can use a skeleton for the carbon backbone if you like.arrow_forwardDraw an isomer of C5H10O that contains an alkene or alkynearrow_forward
