This comprehensive set of practice problems on Stereochemistry includes questions on determining R and S configuration, R and S configuration in Fischer and Newman projections, and determining the relationship between molecules such as enantiomers, diastereomers, and constitutional isomers. There are … Read more
Enantiomers and diastereomers are types of stereoisomers. Recall that stereoisomers are isomers with the same connectivity but different spatial arrangement of atoms. The isomers with different connectivity of atoms are called constitutional isomers: The (R)-2-chlorobutane and (S)-2-chlorobutane shown … Read more
Determine the Relationship of molecules Enantiomers, Diastereomers, Constitutional isomers, Same or no relationship? A question that covers so much for you to learn, yet a very important one as it lays the basis of understanding organic chemistry. Let’s put this … Read more
One of the trickiest questions in Stereochemistry is the relationship between molecules. The reason for this the addition of the stereoisomers to the constitutional isomers and the possibility of being confused between different drawings of the same molecule. Stereoisomers, in turn, can … Read more
Chemical Formulas, Structures and Constitutional Isomers In the General chemistry courses, when solving different problems like the ones in stoichiometry and gas laws, we often use the following notations for representing organic molecules: CH4, C3H8, C6H6, C4H10O These are … Read more
