Resource summary
Isomerism
Structural isomerism
chain isomerism
same functional gp
structural isomers that differ in the length of the main carbon chain
Position isomerism
differ only in the position of the functional group
same functional gp
Functional Group isomerism
belongs to different homologous series
Stereoisomerism
cis-trans isomerism
when there is C=C double bond, rotation is restricted
CIS-
same side
has net dipole moment
a slightly more polar molecule
higher boiling point
TRANS-
Opposite side
no net dipole moment
non-polar
lower boiling point
Enatiomerism
image is not superimposable
a carbon atom bonded to 4 different atoms / functional groups
middle carbon: chiral* carbon
similar physical properties
different interaction with polarized light
plane of polarized light is rotated
can be measured using a polarimeter
|+x|=|-x|: same extent of rotation
def: same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms in space
