Chapter 4

Question 1

Miller’s experiment

Answer 1

Demonstrated the abiotic synthsis of organic componas in a lab - able to synthesize hydrocarbon I amino acids and cyanide

Question 2

Isomers

Answer 2

Organic compound with the same molecular formula but differ in structure - chemical properties May vary.

Question 3

Structural isomers

Answer 3

Different covalent arrangements of atoms

Question 4

Cis isomer

Answer 4

Variable group is on the same side of double bond

Question 5

Cis/trans isomer

Answer 5

Have the same covalent bonds but differ in spatial arrangement I due to inflexibility of the double bond.

Question 6

Trans isomer

Answer 6

Variable group are o on opposite side of double band - change in shape

Question 7

Enantiomers

Answer 7

Isomer that mirror each other that differ due to an asymmetric carbon attached to 4 different groups
