Module 2- gen info Flashcards
Structural Isomers
differ in the order and the way in which atoms are bonded together
Functional Isomers
structural differences that place them in different functional groups
Positional Isomers
differ in the location of a non-carbon group or a multiple bond
Skeletal Isomers
different connectivity in the carbon chain
Stereoisomers
same connectivities but differ in arrangement of atoms in 3-D space
More branched = ___ energy
more branched=more stable= less energy
less branching = __ energy
more energy
Conformational Isomers
interconvert at room temperature
Cis/trans Isomers
Stay different at room temperature
Eclipse
branches all in same direction and highest energy
Staggered
branches all in different direction and lowest energy
Conformations
single bonds rotate resulting in multiple 3-D shapes
Newman Projections
view molecule from straight on perspective
