Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.78P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The fatty acids are called as fatty acid as they bear a
Linolenic acid.
Suggest the likely number of cis/trans isomers in each of the fatty acids.
Concept Introduction:
Cis trans isomers are geometrical isomers resulted from different spatial arrangement of atoms or group of atoms on double bond.

You are teaching a class in organic chemistry to grade 12 students. Outline the differences in 3 physical properties between alkanes, alcohols, and
carboxylic acids. Note: they all have the same hydrocarbon length.
For example, alanine is a chiral amino acid that has two enantiomers: (+)-alanine and (-)-alanine.
These two are optical isomers.

One of the most important properties of chiral
molecules in solution is their effect on plane-
polarized light, this effect is called optical activity.

When an enantiomer rotates a plane-polarized light
in the positive direction or clockwise, it is
dextrorotary (+ or d), while for a negative direction
or counterclockwise, it is levorotary (- or l)
(+)-Alanine
(-)-Alanine
Alanine is a chiral amino acid that has two
enantiomers: (+)-alanine and ()-alanine. These two are
optical isomers.
