Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The most appropriate term is to be filled in the blanks in the given paragraph from the given information.
Concept introduction:
When isomeric molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in bonding patterns and atomic organization, they are known as constitutional isomers.
Resonance structures have two or more possible electron structures.
cis–trans isomers are organic moleculesthatcontain double bonds. Attachment of two similar groups to the carbon atom on the same side is called a cis-isomer and if the attachment takes place on a different side, it is called a trans-isomer.
Enantiomers is one of the two molecules that are mirror images of each other and are nonsuperimposable.
In an organic molecule, if the carbon atom is attached with four different groups then this molecule is known as a chiral molecule.

- What is isomer? Name by typing the isomers of the compound whose closed formula is C4H9Cl. Which of these isomers can have chiral structure. Examine it from a stereochemical point of view.arrow_forwardThe (R,R) isomer of methylphenidate (Ritalin) is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The (S,S) isomer is an antidepressant. Identify the two chiral carbons in the structure below. Is this the (R,R) or the (S,S) isomer? Draw the other isomer.arrow_forwardDetermine (A.) functional groups presents in the molecules and (B) determine the number of chiral carbons in the molecule (Exclude alkane) NH2 HO (Hint: Only six functional groups available)arrow_forward

- . Which of the following compounds exists as cis-trans isomers? Draw the structures of those that do. CH3CH=CHC4H9 (iso) CH3CH2CH=C(CH3) (C2H5)arrow_forwardHow many chiral carbons are in 2-bromo-2-chloro-3-methylpentane? (a) 0, (b) 1, (c) 2, (d) 3, (e) 4 or more.arrow_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.
