11.4 - Isomers

Question 1

Structural Isomerism

Answer 1

Same Molecular formula but different structural formulae

Question 2

Isomers with the same functional group

Answer 2

The functional group can be in different positions

Question 3

Isomers with different functional groups

Answer 3

Two molecules that have different functional groups can have the same molecular formula
(Aldehydes and Ketones have the same molecular formulae if they have the same number of carbon atoms )

Question 4

Two structural C10H18O (Linalool and Geraniol)

Answer 4

These are both unsaturated alcohols that have similar chemical properties (for perfume)
Linalool = Lavender smell [3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-diem-3-ol]
Geraniol = Rose smell [3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diem-1-ol]
