Chapter 2: Isomers Flashcards
1
Q
Constitutional isomers
A
same molecular formula
2
Q
Conformational isomers
A
“yoga isomer”, they differ in the rotation around a single bond
3
Q
Configuration isomers
A
can only change by breaking and reforming covalent bonds
4
Q
Chiral center
A
carbon with 4 different bonds
5
Q
Specific rotation
A
[α] = αobs / c x l
α = specific rotation in degrees
αobs = observed rotation in degree
c = concentration
l = lenght in dm.
