Question | Answer |
Define isomers | compounds with the same molecular formular but different arrangement of atoms |
Define structural isomers | compounds with the same molecular formular but different structures |
Define stereoisomers | molecules with the same molecular and structural formular, but bonds arranged differently in space |
Define chain isomerism | When there are two or more ways of arranging the carbon skeleton of a molecule |
Define position isomerism | Same carbon skeleton and functional group, but with the functional group joined at different places on the carbon chain |
Define functional group isomerism | compounds with the same molecular can contain different functional groups |
Define geometric isomerism | Alkenes that have two different groups on each side of the C of the C=C double bond. |
why do alkenes have geometric isomerism? | They have a C=C double bond which means that they can not rotate. |
Define optical isomer | Molecules containing a C with four different groups attached to it. |
Define Chiral | A carbon atom that has four different groups attached |
what is an entiomer? | Two compounds that are optical isomers of each other |
