42
Q

Definition for isomers?
fr not playing

A

Compounds having the same molecular formulae, but different structural formulae - i.e. a different arrangement of atoms in space

43
Q

What are the 3 different types of isomerism?

A
  1. Chain isomerism
  2. Positional isomerism
  3. Functional group isomerism
44
Q

What’s the difference for chain isomerism?

A

Ya got straight chain
CH3CH2CH2CH3
and ya got branched chain
CH3CH(CH3)CH3

45
Q

What’s the difference for positional isomerism?

A

Ya got 1-bromopropane
CH3CH2CH2Br
and ya got 2-bromopropane
CH3CHBrCH3

46
Q

Which functional group can positional isomerism be applied to?

A

Alcohols ig

47
Q

What’s the difference for functional group isomerism?

A

Ya got propanal
CH3CH2COH
and finally propanone
CH3COCH3

48
Q

When does geometric (E/Z) isomerism take place?

A

Atoms joining up in same order but different spatial arrangement

49
Q

What would the E in E/Z isomerism correlate to?

A

E- entgegen (opposite side)

50
Q

What would the Z in E/Z isomerism correlate to?

A

Z - zussamen (zame side)

51
Q

When would 1,2-dibromoethene have a Z?

A

during C=C, both Br’s on top of both C’s (vice-versa for H)

(Z) - 1,2 - dibromoethene

52
Q

When would 1,2-dibromoethene have an E?

A

during C=C, both Br’s on opposite positions diagonally on both C’s (vice versa for H)

(E) - 1,2 - dibromoethene

53
Q

So what about E/Z isomerism for some complicated formula like:

1-bromo-2-chloro-1-fluoro-2-iodoethene?

A

Uhhhhhhhhh, based on atoms with highest atomic mass, which take priority, honestly look at page 16.

54
Q

For the 4 main group 7 elements, order them from highest to lowest in terms of atomic mass (highest has more priority)

A
  1. Iodine
  2. Bromine
  3. Chlorine
  4. Fluorine

Actually u can just look at the periodic table, they are also arranged in atomic mass too. (pretty obvious n stuff, waste of a flash card?)

55
Q

Why does b.p increase for longer chains?

A

Longer chains =
More VDW forces =
More energy needed to overcome forces =
Higher B.P.

56
Q

What’s the effect of branching on boiling temperatures?

A

The more branches a molecule has, the lower it’s boiling temperature ig?

57
Q

Ye go do past paper, or u can start unit 2.5 if u want

A

Who knows what he chooses

58
Q

U have no idea how useful past paper questions are

A

I understand
