Question 2

What is a property of P orbitals

Answer 2

orthogonal and degenerate

Question 3

What is a hetero atom

Answer 3

Anything other than carbon or hydrogen

Question 4

If a heteroatom has more bonds than it should, what is the formal charge

Answer 4

Positive

Question 5

If a heteroatom has less bonds than normal, what is the formal charge

Answer 5

Negative

Question 6

What are types of conformational isomers and explain the conformation

Answer 6

staggard- staggard anti is when the substituents are 180 degrees and staggard gauche is when they are slightly offset
Eclipsed- substituents overlap

Question 7

What is a structural isomer

Answer 7

Same molecular formular but different arrangements of atoms

Question 8

What is the equation for double bond equivalent

Answer 8

(2C+N-halide-H)/2

Question 9

What is a cool property of enantiomers and what separates them

Answer 9

They rotate plane polarized light. Enantiomers can be separated by chromatography

Question 10

What is a diastereoisomer

Answer 10

Are the same except arrangements are different in space

Question 11

What is the name of a compound that can be rotated and be the same and what determines this

Answer 11

Meso compounds, they have an internal plane of symmetry
