Question 1

Constitutional isomers

Answer 1

Have the same molecular formula but different structural formula

Question 2

Compound naming order

Answer 2

Side chain position
Side chain number
Side chain name
C in main chain
Name of functional group

Question 3

Geometric isomers occur as…

Answer 3

Alkanes are able to be rotated where alkens cannot be due to their double bond

Question 4

Geo isomer - can’t exist…

Answer 4

cannot exist as a geometric isomer as two exist on one double bonded C atom

Question 5

Number naming order

Answer 5

Bond position,
functional group,
side chain

Question 6

Hydrocarbon Solubility rule

Answer 6

The bigger the molecule, the bigger the non-polar hydrocarbon chain, and the less soluble it is in water.

Question 7

Geo isomer can exist…

Answer 7

can exist as a geometric isomer as one exists on each double bonded C atom

Question 8

Finding isomers - what can be changed

Answer 8

Position of double / triple bonds
Position of functional groups
Position of side chains
Number of C atoms in main or side chains

Question 9

Geometric isomer pt1

Answer 9

Has a double bond

Cannot be rotated
