- Draw a pair of cis/trans stereoisomers with a molecular formula of C7H14. Label the cis compound and the trans compound.arrow_forwardShown below is Streptomycin, an antibiotic medication used to treat a number of bacterial infections, including tuberculosis, plague, and endocarditis. Neomycin B has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Circle and label as many functional groups in these molecules as you can. Label each chiral carbon in Streptomycin. How many total stereoisomers exist for Streptomycin? Label each chiral carbon in Neomycin B. How many total stereoisomers exist for Neomycin B?arrow_forwardWhat is the maximum number of stereoisomers possible for the attached compound?arrow_forward
- 2. What term best describes how the following structures/molecules are related to each other? Enantiomers Br b. Diastereomers c. Identical d. Constitutional Isomers سال Br Br Brarrow_forwardMark each chiral center in the following molecule with an asterisk. How many stereoisomers are possible for each molecule?arrow_forwardIn this question, you will draw all the constitutional isomers of CH4Br₂. This compound has an IHD of 1, which means it will either have one ring or one double bond. For this question, do not consider stereoisomers.arrow_forward
