Chapter 22.3, Problem 27LC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A concept map is to be drawn to show how the vocabulary words (Isomers, Constitutional isomers, Stereoisomers, Cis-trans isomers, and Enantiomers) are related.

Concept Introduction: Compounds in which molecular formulas are the same but chemical structures are different are known as isomers.

Answer to Problem 27LC

  

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Isomers, Constitutional isomers, Stereoisomers, Cis-trans isomers, and Enantiomers are related to each other.

Compounds in which molecular formulas are the same but chemical structures are different are known as isomers. There are two types of isomers namely Constitutional isomers & Stereoisomers.

Compounds in which atoms are connected or bonded differently are called Constitutional isomers whereas compounds that differ due to orientation in space are called Stereoisomers.

Kind of Stereoisomers in which compounds are a mirror image of each other is known as Enantiomers. On the other hand, isomers that do not mirror images of each other are called Diastereomers.
