Q

Prefix

A

Indicates the location of the side chains found in the molecule

23
Q

Parent

A

Indicates how many carbons compose the molecular backbone ( longest carbon chain).

24
Q

Suffix

A

Identifies the family the molecule belongs to, based on the presence and type of functional groups

25
Q

Isomers

A

Molecules with the same molecular formula, but different molecule (different structure ). The may differ in physical or chemical properties

26
Q

Structural isomers

A

Share molecular formula, but differ in structure ( the order and configuration in which the atoms are bonded to one another).

27
Q

Stereoisomers

A

Share molecular structure, but the atomic arrangement differs in space - they cannot be converted into one another by rotation around a single band.

28
Q

Cis isomer

A

Type of stereoisomer.
The double bond between carbons is fixed in space ( no free rotation )
Same side group on the same side of the carbons.

29
Q

Trans isomer

A

Type of stereoisomer.
The double bond between carbons is fixed in space ( no free rotation )
Same side group on different side of the carbons.
