Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given pair of
Concept introduction: Constitutional isomers have the same molecular formulabut they differ in the pattern in which atoms are connected. They contain different functional groups and/or bonding patterns.
(b)
Interpretation: The given pair of alkenes are to be labeled as constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or identical.
Concept introduction: Stereoisomers are isomers which have the same sequence of bonded atoms but they differ in the 3D orientation of their atoms in space.
(c)
Interpretation: The given pair of alkenes are to be labeled as constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or identical.
Concept introduction: Identical compounds have the same molecular formula, same name and same arrangement of bonds.
(d)
Interpretation: The given pair of alkenes are to be labeled as constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or identical.
Concept introduction: Stereoisomers are isomers which have the same bonded atoms but they differ in the 3D orientation of their atoms in space. They have the same molecular formula but differ in the prefix cis or trans to their names.
