Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.2YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Constructing a molecular modeling kit of a molecule for both, the original and its mirror image to verify whether a molecule is superimposable or not.
Concept introduction:
An atom and its mirror image are directly opposite to each other on opposite sides of the mirror. An atom and its mirror image are identical distances away from the mirror. When the mirror is perpendicular to the plane of the page, dash–wedge notation in the mirror image is identical to that in the original molecule. In any molecule, when the mirror image of the molecule is same and indistinguishable from the original, it is superimposable. In a tetrahedral molecule, when two atoms are same, then the molecules are superimposable.

If there are no such bonds, check the No bonds to highlight box under the drawing area. Note: be careful not to highlight a bond just because it's cis in this drawing! It also needs to be a bond that would create a different cis/trans isomer if it were changed to trans. This molecule has cis/trans isomers in all.

If not, check the box under the drawing area that says Not possible. Note: it's OK if cutting the bond creates more than one molecule, as long as one of them is the target molecule. Not possible.
