Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: Each asymmetric carbon atom and if it has (R) or (S) configuration.
Interpretation: Each asymmetric carbon atom is to be marked and its configuration is to be identified.
Concept introduction: The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist is referred to as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centres. Enantiomers have opposite (R) and (S) configuration.
(b)

- Image below, Why is this not a constructual isomer?arrow_forwardHow many asymmetric centers are in the molecule on the right?arrow_forwardThis problem considers the conformational isomers of 2-methyl-butane shown below. The label for each carbon is indicated in red. Also shown is the Newman projection for the bond between carbons 2 and 3. The Newman projection is shown at its 0o position. The angle increases with clockwise rotation of the bonds on carbon 2. Which rotation angle(s) has(have) the lowest energy? (select all that apply) Which rotation angle(s) has(have) the highest energy? (select all that apply). Which rotation angle(s) has(have) a local anergy minima that is(are) not the lowest energy possible? (select all that apply).arrow_forward
- a) Draw one isomer of C6H14. b) Draw one isomer of C6H12- c) Draw one isomer of C6H140 that exhibits hydrogen bonding. d) Draw one isomer of C6H140 that is not capable of hydrogen bonding. BONUS: Show all locations of possible hydrogen bonding for the C6H140 isomer that you drew above in part c.arrow_forwardsorry it says Cl at the top but I'm struggling with this question. I know Cis has larger energy gap and trans has smaller energy gap but I don't know how to draw picture. Explain why one molecule has larger (or smaller) energy gap using simple molecular orbital picture?arrow_forwardQ1. Please answer the following questions with respect to this structure. но. a) What is the hybridization of all atoms in the molecule? b) There are two double bonds in the molecule. For each, indicate the correct stereochemistry, by circling E or Z.arrow_forward
- 5. Draw the perspective structure of 1,3-dibromobutane and label any asymmetric carbon atoms with a start (*). Draw the mirror image for the compound and indicate the corresponding (R) and (S) configuration for each structure.arrow_forwardX, the molecule shown below, is not planar. The terminal ring at one end is actually skewed up relative to that at the other end. Is X chiral? Yes or no?arrow_forwardUsing your model, construct an energy diagram to show the variation in the free energy of the molecule as the FRONT ATOM is rotated CLOCKWISE from 0º to 360º in 60º increments. In your energy diagram, you should clearly show the relative energies of each conformer.arrow_forward
