What is the mathematical relationship between the number of chiral carbons and the number of optical isomers (stereoisomers) in a molecule?

Is methane chiral?

Organic Chemistry HW: CANNOT BE HAND DRAWN 2,6-dimethyloct-2-ene Provide a detailed typed explanation of Stereoisomers show the expanded structure of your molecule. Calculate the maximum number of possible stereoisomers of your molecule using the following formula: Maximum number of possible stereoisomers = 2n (where n= the number of chiral carbons in your molecule). This calculation does not include E- or Z- isomers for any compounds containing double bonds Type or using a computer program "draw" the possible stereoisomers of the molecule. Note that E-, Z- isomers of each stereoisomer are also possible and would not be accounted for by the formula above; draw any E- or Z- isomers.

The (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.

2-brokopentane is an optically active compound, draw the two possible structure of optical isomer and label the chiral center with an asterisk(*) in each of the optical isomer structure

3. Sketch the cis and trans isomers formed when the anion of the amino acid glycine, H2NCH2CO2 (gly), reacts with CoCl2.
