• chain • positional • functional group

Front (Question)

Name the 2 types of stereoisomerism

Back (Answer)

• geometric (E/Z) • optical

Front (Question)

Definition of structural isomerism

Back (Answer)

same molecular formula but different structural formulas

Back (Answer)

pentane, 2-methylbutane, 2,2-dimethylbutane

#13

Front (Question)

Draw the isomers for C5H10

Back (Answer)

#14

Front (Question)

Stereoisomerism definition

Back (Answer)

same structural formula but different arrangement of atoms in space

#15

Front (Question)

How do E/Z isomers arise?

Back (Answer)

• each C atom in the C=C double bond is bonded to 2 diff groups • there’s a lack of rotation around the C=C double bond
