Structural isomerism
Same molecular formula but different structural formula
3 types of structural formula
Positional
Chain
Functional
Chain isomerism of butane
Positional isomerism
Functional isomerism definition
Same molecular formula but different functional groups
Stereoisomerisn
Compounds whose molecules have the same atoms bonded to each other but different arrangements of atoms in space
2 types of stereoisomerisn
Cis trans
Optical
Cis trans isomerism
No free rotation around the C=C double bond
Optical isomerism (chiral centre)
Homolytic fission
When a bond breaks homolyticslly it forms free radicals, all free radicals have an impaired electron and are very reactive
Homolytic fission
When a bond breaks homolyticslly it forms free radicals, all free radicals have an impaired electron and are very reactive
More lone pairs =
More electronegativity
Dipole
Any molecule with a partial charge
Homolytic fission
Type of bond breaking in which the more electronegative atom takes both of the electrons in a covalent bond . Producing a carbocation
Primary carbocation
Secondary carbocation
