Question 13

What are the 2 types of stereoisomerism?

Answer 13

E-Z isomerism and optical isomerism

Question 14

Describe E-Z isomerism

Answer 14

Only occurs in substances with a double bond so the 2 carbons cannot rotate, this means the 2 functional groups can either be on the same or opposite sides of the double bond

Question 15

Describe optical isomerism

Answer 15

Optical isomerism occurs when a molecule has a chiral centre, a carbon with 4 different groups coming off it, this way if the 2 groups either side of the carbon swapped, as if it were mirrored, it would be a different isomer.

Question 16

How can you separate the 2 optical isomers from each other?

Answer 16

Shine polarised light through them and see which way the light rotates

Question 17

How are optical isomers formed?

Answer 17

They are produced in a 50:50 mixture of the 2 isomers called a racemic mixture
