Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the condensed structures for 2,3-dimethyl-2-pentene whether cis-trans isomers exist or not has to be given. And if it exists, both the isomers has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Condensed structures: A condensed structures only shows the total number of atoms but not bonds exist between the atoms. The vertical and horizontal line which represents bonding all should be omitted.
Line structure: In organic compounds, the series of atoms in the compound are bonded together which shown by drawing a line between them. End of line segment represents carbon
Predicting cis-trans isomers:
In general, the
Cis-isomer: In cis-configuration, the two bulkier substituents of the double bond are on the same side.
Trans-isomer: In trans-configuration, the two bulkier substituents of the double bond are on the opposite side.
(b)
Interpretation:
From the both condensed and line structures for 2-Methyl-2-hexene whether cis-trans isomers exist or not has to be given. And if it exists, both the isomers has to be drawn.

How are the compounds in each pair related (enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers): A and B; A and C; B and C; C and D?arrow_forwardWrite chemical names for the following compounds: (a) Thymidine (b) Cytosine (c) Uracil (d) Xanthine (e) Guanine () 2,4-dioxy-6-carboxy pyrimidine (g) CAMP (h) dTTParrow_forwardWhen Alfred Werner was developing the field of coordination chemistry, it was argued by some that the optical activity he observed in the chiral complexes he had prepared was due to the presence of carbon atoms in themolecule. To disprove this argument, Werner synthesized a chiral complex of cobalt that had no carbon atoms in it, and he was able to resolve it into its enantiomers. Design a cobalt(III) complex that would be chiral if it could be synthesized and that contains no carbon atoms.arrow_forward
