Isomerism

Question 1

What is structural isomers

Answer 1

Compounds that have same molecular formula but different structural formula

Question 2

What is isomerism

Answer 2

compounds having same molecular formula but different spatial arrangement

Question 3

Classify the types of isomerism

Answer 3

Isomerism
structural stereo
1.chain conjugational. conformational
2.positional. 1.optical
3.functional 2.geometrical
4.metamerism
5.tautomerism

Question 4

What is chain isomerism

Answer 4

The molecular formula is same but the size of the main chain will vary.

Question 5

Show no. of PI when C7H16 undergoes mono-chlorination

Answer 5

4

Question 6

What is positional isomerism?

Answer 6

Compounds having same molecular formula but different position of attached functional or different position of unsaturation.

This will be observed when the size of chain is same.

Question 7

What is functional isomerism?

Answer 7

Compounds having same molecular formula but different functional group will be present.

Question 8

What is metamerism?

Answer 8

Compounds that have same molecular formula but different groups on either sides.

Question 9

What is tautomerism?

Answer 9

It is a special case of isomerism where two functional groups coexist with each other
