(a)
To determine: The condensed structural formula for the cis and trans isomers of 2-pentane.
Solution: The condensed structural formula for the cis and trans isomers of 2-pentane is drawn in the following section.
Explanation:
Both cis and trans isomers of 2-pentane have the same molecular formula with equal number of different atoms, however their condensed structure differs in orientation, which is described in the following figure 1.
Figure 1
Conclusion:
The condensed structural formulas for the cis and trans isomers of 2-pentane is shown in Figure 1.
(b)
To determine: If cyclopentene exhibits cis-trans isomerism and an explanation regarding the same.
(c)
To determine: If 1-pentyne has enantiomers and an explanation regarding the same.
