Isomers

Question 1

Geometric isomers def

Answer 1

Geometric isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula and the same structural formula.

Question 2

Structural isomers def

Answer 2

Structural Isomers are when compounds share the same molecular formula but a different structural formula.

Question 3

Geometric isomers requirements

Answer 3

• There must be a carbon-carbon double bond present to prevent free rotation in space. Only occurs with alkenes.
• Each carbon attached to the double bond must have two different groups bonded to it.
• There must be a common group on each side of the double bond

Question 4

Cis

Answer 4

Same side

Question 5

Trans

Answer 5

Opposite side

Question 6

Structural isomers stuff

Answer 6

Positional Isomers: Position of a functional group or a side chain is different.
Branched Chain Isomers: Main carbon chain is of a different length due to the formation of side chains, such as methyl or ethyl groups.
Functional Group:
