chiral molecule

30

polarimeter/ spectropolarimeter

34
Q

in the polarized light and optical activity,
what is able to rotate the plane-polarized light

optically inactive substances (achiral)

36
Q

in the polarized light and optical activity,
which rotates through an angle a

A

optically active substances (chiral)

37
Q

2 enantiomers rotate plane-polarized light to a same…

A

to a same angle but opposite directions

38
Q

the properties of enantiomers differ only with respect to

A

chirality

39
Q

enantiomers are identical in terms of

A

BP,MP, solubility

40
Q

what is the interchange of any 2 groups that always give the enantiomers

A

stereorepresentations

41
Q

how to determine the absolute (R/S) configuration of stereoisomer

A
  1. check which has the highest priority (make sure that the H is at the vertical line)
  2. know if it’s clockwise or anticlockwise
42
Q

what to do if the lowest priority is at the horizontal lines

A

you could rotate 3 of the 4 groups so that the lowest priority is at the vertical line

43
Q

do compound with more than 1 chirality center have or dont have mirror image

A

have mirror image

44
Q

do stereoisomeric forms have or dont have mirror image

A

dont have mirror image

45
Q

based on my understanding, what is constitutional, configurational and identical

A

constitutional - completely different
configurational - geometric (cis/ trans) same mol. formula but diff attachment of atom
identical - everything is the same
