Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compounds showing cis-trans isomerism for the given compounds has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.
(b)
Interpretation:
The isomers shown in part (a) has to be drawn and labeled.
Concept introduction:
Cis-trans terminology is used for two non-similar groups attached alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in same side, then it is cis alkenes.
If the two identical groups are attached on each side of double bond in opposite manner, then it is trans alkenes.

- Draw an isomer for the molecule C4H8. Do not draw geometric isomers (i.e., cis-trans isomers).arrow_forward3. Which of the following does not show conformational isomerism and Explain the reason for each? A. Ethane B. Ethene C. Ethyne D. Methane. 5. Why conformational isomers generally can not be separated from one another at room temperature?arrow_forward3. Sketch the cis and trans isomers formed when the anion of the amino acid glycine, H2NCH2CO2 (gly), reacts with CoCl2.arrow_forward
- 1. Which of the following can exist in optically active forms. a. Cis -1, 3- Dichlorocyclohexane. b. Trans -1,3- Dichlorocyclohexane. c. Cis -1, 4- Dichlorocyclohexane. d. Trans -1,4- Dichlorocyclohexane. e. Cis -1, 2- Dichlorocyclohexane.arrow_forwardReplace one atom in CH3CH2Br by another Br atom to form a model of a compound with the formula C2H4Br2. Draw projection drawings and perspective drawings of all possible isomers. Does replacing different hydrogen atoms in CH3CH2Br to produce C2H4Br2 give different isomers? (i.e. Are all the hydrogen atoms equivalent?) If there are multiple isomers, what type of isomerism do they represent?arrow_forwardDo you predict the product to be the cis isomer, the trans isomer, or a mixture of cis and trans isomers? Explain.arrow_forward
- Which is most stable, cis-1,4-dimethylhexane, or the trans isomoer? Draw the structure of the more stable isomer (your structure should clearly distinguish between all axial and equatorial positions.)arrow_forward1. Describe how geometric isomers are different from structural isomers. 2. Why is it possible for alkenes and cylcoalkanes to have cis-trans isomers but not alkanes? 3. How are cis-trans isomers shown in diagrams?arrow_forwardFor those compounds that can exist as cis and trans isomers, draw and label the isomers.arrow_forward
- A. Structural Isomerism of Alkanes, continued. Construct models for the five alkanes that have the molecular formula C6H₁4. All five of your models should have the same number of each type of atom, but they should have the atoms connected in a different order. Thus the molecules they represent are structural isomers of one another. Note the tetrahedral geometry of each carbon atom. Draw an extended and a condensed structure (NOT skeletal/line angle) of each structural isomer, then determine its IUPAC name. Recall that since the IUPAC name specifies the number of each type of atom and how they are connected, each structural isomer will have a different name. Each name should very specifically describe the structure.
