Frage Antworten
general formula a formula that can describe any member of a family or compound (e.g. general formula of an alkane)
molecular formula actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
shortened structural formula shows atoms, carbon by carbon, with hydrogens attached (e.g. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3)
structural formula shows how the atoms are all arranged and the bonds between them
skeletal formula stick drawings shows bonds of carbon skeleton only and then any functional groups
structural isomerism- functional group isomers chain may be the same but contains a different functional group (e.g. alcohols and ethers)
structural isomerism- position isomers position isomers have the same functional group but it is on a different position on the chain
structural isomerism- chain isomers carbon skeleton may be arranged differently (may be a straight chain or may be branched in a different way)
atoms and rotating atoms can't rotate around double bonds (c=c) like they can around single bonds (c-c) , if they do rotate they become a different molecule (this causes E/Z isomerism)
stereoisomerism- E/Z (geometric) isomers when both molecule has a c=c double bond and the groups are on opposite sides so it looks flipped (mirror images)
E-isomer (trans isomer) when the Hs are across the double bond diagonally
Z- isomer (cis isomer) When the Hs are both above or below the c=c double bond
use E/Z isomerism if the two groups which are the same are Hs
use Cis/Trans isomerism if the two groups that are the same are not Hs
