Unit 2: Isomers

Question 1

Functional groups

Answer 1

sulfhydryl
hydroxyl
amino
carbonyl
carboxyl
phosphate
alkyl

Question 2

nonpolar

Answer 2

hydrophobic, van der waals

Question 3

polar

Answer 3

hydrophilic, hydrogen bonds

Question 4

isomer

Answer 4

same molecular formula, different structure

Question 5

structural isomer

Answer 5

same molecular formula, different pattern of bonds

atoms connected in different order

Question 6

stereoisomer

Answer 6

same molecular formula, same pattern of bonds, but different arrangements around one or more carbons

same composition, different orientation (mirror or same)

Question 7

geometric

Answer 7

same molecular formula, same bond pattern, different spatial arrangement around a double bond (cis or trans)

Question 8

cis

Answer 8

chain continues on same sides of bond

Question 9

trans

Answer 9

chain continues on opposite side of bonds

Question 10

enantiomer

Answer 10

mirroring the bonds from the two

Question 11

what isomer has double bonds

Answer 11

geometric isomer

Question 12

what isomers go under asymmetric

Answer 12

enantiomer, diastereomers and same molecular

Question 13

asymmetric carbon

Answer 13

carbon bound to four different groups

Question 14

diastereomers

Answer 14

mixture of same bond and mirrored bonds

Question 15

when trying to figure out isomer, what three questions do you ask?

Answer 15

are the atom numbers the same?
same bond pattern?
asymmetric carbon or double bond?
asymmetric --> count asymmetric carbon and type
double bond --> cis or trans
