Molecular models

Question 1

Physical models that represent molecules and also the atoms and bonds found in these molecules

Answer 1

Molecular models

Question 2

Molecular models represent molecules with _________

Answer 2

balls of different colors

Question 3

Molecular models represent bonds with ________

Answer 3

Stick or short connectors

Question 4

Disadvantage of 2D structures

Answer 4

can’t appreciate the geometry accurately

Question 5

Advantage of ball and stick model

Answer 5

accurately represent shape

Question 6

Other ways of drawing structures

Answer 6

perspective formula and space-filling formula

Question 7

Can ethane have hydrogen that is found on the same plane?

Answer 7

No

Question 8

does hydrogen lies on the same for ethene

Answer 8

yes

Question 9

Exists due to rotation of single bonds

Answer 9

Conformation isomers

Question 10

Conformational isomers include:

Answer 10

Aliphatic and alicyclic alkanes

Question 11

are conformational isomers the same compound

Answer 11

yes

Question 12

why is staggered more stable that eclipsed

Answer 12

the electron cloud of staggered is more far away from each other

Question 13

the electron clouds of two hydrogen repel each other and strain due to how close they are

Answer 13

flagpole hydrogen

Question 14

reason why bat conformation is unstable

Answer 14

flagpole hydrogen

If structure is rotated, the carbons are in eclipsed conformation leading to unstability

Question 15

Are boat and chair conformation the same compound

Answer 15

yes

Question 16

True or false: geometric isomers are configurational isomers

Answer 16

true

Question 17

Differences of configurational and conformational isomers

Answer 17

they are not interconvertible and not due to rotation about single bonds

Question 18

type of conformational isomers due to restricted rotation about double bonds or alicylic

Answer 18

geometric isomers

Question 19

are geometric isomers the same compounds

Answer 19

no, they are different compounds since the double bond can not be rotated and possesses its properties double

Question 20

how to change the geometric isomers

Answer 20

bond must be broken

Question 20

differences between geometric sequence of double bonds and alkenes

Answer 20

alkenes the double bond is reference point, while the ring is the reference point for alicylic.

Question 20

Does di-substituted cycloalkanes have geometric isomers as well

Answer 20

yes

Question 21

what do you look for in alkenes

Answer 21

substituent on same or opposite side with respect the double bond as opposed to the ring

Question 22

does aromatic rings have geometric isomers

Answer 22

No, since the rings are sp2 hybridized leading to trigonal planar
