Packet #8

Question 1

superimposableructures

Answer 1

put 2 objects right on top of each other and see if identical. If so, they are superimposable.

Question 2

isomers

Answer 2

different compounds with the same formulas but different structures

Question 3

connectivity

Answer 3

which atoms are bonded to which other atoms in the molecule (That’s what Lewis structures show us)

Question 4

geometric isomers

Answer 4

different compounds that have the SAME formula AND also the SAME connectivity BUT _different orientations _

In geometric isomers, each atom is connected to all the same other atoms, but the arrangement of those atoms is different

Question 5

constitutional isomers

Answer 5

different compounds with the same formulas BUT different connectivities

Question 6

wedge

Answer 6

coming out of the screen at you

Question 7

dashes

Answer 7

lines meaning the atom is going back into the screen

Question 8

cis and trans

Question 9

chiral

Answer 9

Existing in right and left handed forms

Question 10

enantiomer

Answer 10

the right and left handed geometric isomers

Question 11

Way to know chirality

Answer 11

You must have 4 different groups attached to a substance. To be chiral a molecule must contain at least 1 carbon atom with 4 different groups attached.

Question 12

*C

Answer 12

Chiral center - a carbon atom with 4 different groups attached to it

Question 14

How to know ‘cis’

Answer 14

In ‘cis’, the two “ends” are coming out in the same direction.

Question 15

How to know ‘trans’

Answer 15

In the ‘trans’ model, the 2 “ends” go in opposite directions.
