Chapter 6, Problem 6.50AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has tetrahedral geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

Concept introduction:

Those compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called isomerism. The isomers are generally classified as structural isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has square planar geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has pyramidal geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

Square planar molecules with formula AB2C2 and octahedral molecules with formulas AB4C2 and AB3C3 feature diastereoisomers. Recall that trigonal bipyramidal geometry features two distinct positions: axial and equatorial. Draw all diastereoisomers for trigonal bipyramidal molecules with formula (a) AB4C and (b) AB3C2. You must indicate the stereochemistry using full and dashed wedges and label all positions as either axial (ax) and equatorial (eq)..
2. (a) Define and give one example of a geometry that is coordinatively unsaturated. (b) Define and give one example of a geometry that can be stereochemically non-rigid.
Section 7.3 shows that the compound 2-butene exists intwo isomeric forms, which can be interconverted only bybreaking a bond (in that case, the central double bond).How many possible isomers correspond to each of the following chemical formulas? Remember that a simple rotation of an entire molecule does not give a different isomer.Each molecule contains a central CuC bond.(a) C2H2Br2(b) C2H2BrCl(c) C2HBrClF
