Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The most appropriate term is to be filled in the blanks in the given paragraph from the given information.
Concept introduction:
When isomeric molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in bonding patterns and atomic organization, they are known as constitutional isomers.
Resonance structures have two or more possible electron structures.
cis–trans isomers are organic moleculesthatcontain double bonds. Attachment of two similar groups to the carbon atom on the same side is called a cis-isomer and if the attachment takes place on a different side, it is called a trans-isomer.
Enantiomers is one of the two molecules that are mirror images of each other and are nonsuperimposable.
In an organic molecule, if the carbon atom is attached with four different groups then this molecule is known as a chiral molecule.
