Front (Question)

Physical models that represent molecules and also the atoms and bonds found in these molecules

Back (Answer)

Molecular models

Front (Question)

Molecular models represent molecules with _________

Back (Answer)

balls of different colors

Front (Question)

Molecular models represent bonds with ________

Back (Answer)

Stick or short connectors

Front (Question)

Disadvantage of 2D structures

Back (Answer)

can’t appreciate the geometry accurately

Front (Question)

Advantage of ball and stick model

Back (Answer)

accurately represent shape

Front (Question)

Other ways of drawing structures

Back (Answer)

perspective formula and space-filling formula

Front (Question)

Can ethane have hydrogen that is found on the same plane?

Back (Answer)

Front (Question)

does hydrogen lies on the same for ethene

Back (Answer)

yes

Front (Question)

Exists due to rotation of single bonds

Back (Answer)

Conformation isomers

#10

Front (Question)

Conformational isomers include:

Back (Answer)

Aliphatic and alicyclic alkanes

#11

Front (Question)

are conformational isomers the same compound

Back (Answer)

yes

#12

Front (Question)

why is staggered more stable that eclipsed

Back (Answer)

the electron cloud of staggered is more far away from each other

#13

Front (Question)

the electron clouds of two hydrogen repel each other and strain due to how close they are

Back (Answer)

flagpole hydrogen

#14

Front (Question)

reason why bat conformation is unstable

Back (Answer)

flagpole hydrogen If structure is rotated, the carbons are in eclipsed conformation leading to unstability

#15

Front (Question)

Are boat and chair conformation the same compound

Back (Answer)

yes

#16

Front (Question)

True or false: geometric isomers are configurational isomers

Back (Answer)

true

#17

Front (Question)

Differences of configurational and conformational isomers

Back (Answer)

they are not interconvertible and not due to rotation about single bonds

#18

Front (Question)

type of conformational isomers due to restricted rotation about double bonds or alicylic

Back (Answer)

geometric isomers

#19

Front (Question)

are geometric isomers the same compounds

Back (Answer)

no, they are different compounds since the double bond can not be rotated and possesses its properties double

#20

Front (Question)

how to change the geometric isomers

Back (Answer)

bond must be broken

#21

Front (Question)

differences between geometric sequence of double bonds and alkenes

Back (Answer)

alkenes the double bond is reference point, while the ring is the reference point for alicylic.

#22

Front (Question)

Does di-substituted cycloalkanes have geometric isomers as well

Back (Answer)

yes

#23

Front (Question)

what do you look for in alkenes

Back (Answer)

substituent on same or opposite side with respect the double bond as opposed to the ring

#24

Front (Question)

does aromatic rings have geometric isomers

Back (Answer)

No, since the rings are sp2 hybridized leading to trigonal planar
