29
Q

what is a mechanism

A

30
Q

what are structural isomers

A

have the same molecular formula but a different structural formula

31
Q

what are chain isomers

A

same molecular formula but different arrangement of the carbon skeleton

32
Q

what are positional isomers

A

same molecule formula but different position of the functional group on the carbon skeleton

33
Q

what are functional group isomers

A

same molecular formula but different functional group

34
Q

what are stereo isomers and give an example

A

have same structural formula but a different arrangement of atoms in space
an example is e/z isomerism

35
Q

how does e z isomerism occur

A

the c=c bond and the atoms bonded directly to this are flat and the atoms cannot rotate around the bond and are rigid. this means u get e z isomerism

36
Q

e isomer in ez isomerism

A

same groups opposite the double bond

37
Q

z isomerism in ez isomerism

A

same groups on the sea side of the double bond

38
Q

what are the cip rules

A

calculate atomic number of the two elements directly bonded to one C. highest priority goes to higher number. do same on other C. then determine e or z based on high priority elements
