hydroxyl
disulfide
phosphoryl

Question 2

conformation

Answer 2

flexible spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule (can be changed without breaking bonds)

Question 3

configuration

Answer 3

fixed spatial arrangement of atoms (cannot be changed without breaking bonds)

Question 4

configuration is conferred by either

Answer 4

1. the presence of double bonds around which there is no freedom of rotation
2. chiral centers, the groups are arranged in a specific positioning

Question 5

geometric isomers

Answer 5

have the same chemical formula but differ in the arrangement of groups with respect to a non-rotating double bond
