Isomerism And Intermolecular Forces

Question 1

When naming an element what is the stem/parent for?

Answer 1

Shows the number of carbon atoms in longest chain bearing the functional group

Question 2

When naming an element what is the suffix for

Answer 2

The ending tells u which functional group is present
(If necessary, the position is annotated -2-)

Question 3

When naming an element what is the prefix for?

Answer 3

If necessary, a prefix for showing the position and identify of any substituents
-side-chain names appear in alphabetical order
-if identical side-chains appear more than one prefix with di,tri,tetra etc

Question 6

Outline chain isomerisms

Answer 6

Different arrangement of a molecules carbon skeleton

Question 7

Outline position isomerism

Answer 7

The differing position of the same functional group in the molecule

Question 8

Outline functional group isomerism

Answer 8

Differing positions of atoms give a different functional group

Question 9

Outline geometric isomerism

Answer 9

Different substituents around a bond with restricted rotation

Question 10

What is a cis stereoisomer

Answer 10

Substituents on same side of double bond

Question 11

What is a trans stereoisomer

Answer 11

Substituents on opposite sides of double bond

Question 12

Outline optical isomers

Answer 12

Non-superimposable mirror images of the same molecule

Question 13

Outline enantomers

Answer 13

Stereoisomers, molecules with the same connectivity, but different spatial orientation
Differ in their arrangement at positions called chiral centres
Mirror image of each other

It’s atomic number and the size of the atom

Question 15

What is a dipole

Answer 15

A bond or molecule whose ends have opposite charges
