Branch of chemistry that studies the 3D arrangement of atoms in a molecule
Stereochemistry
What are the three types of isomers?
Different compounds that have the same chemical formula
Isomers
The presence of a chiral center in a molecule guarantees that the molecule is chiral and that _________ are possible
enantiomers
In a quest to replace rubber, James Wright accidentally invented what common toy?
Silly Putty
Isomers that have the same chemical formula but different connectivity
Constitutional (or Structural)
A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers
Racemic mixture
T/F: Racemic mixtures often have different physical properties like boiling point and melting point from the enantiomers
T
Stereoisomers that are different, unique compounds (ex: cis/trans and E/Z)
Geometric Isomers
Who wrote “To Kill a Mockingbird”?
Harper Lee
An object that is not superposable on its mirror image
Chiral
Stereoisomers
Constitutional Isomers and Stereoisomers
Configuration around the chiral carbon is denoted by:
R and/or S
What is the name of the first permanent English settlement in North America?
Jamestown
Carbon with four different substituents
Chiral center
A stereoisomer that contains chiral features (ex: enantiomers and diastereomers)
Optical Isomer
An atom that has at least three different attachments; juxtaposition of two of these attachments forms a new stereoisomer
Stereocenter
Stereoisomers that differ due to rotation about a bond (ex: boat and chair forms)
Conformational Isomers
Who was the first woman ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Aretha Franklin
Stereoisomers that are nonsuperposable mirror images
Enantiomers
Compare the physical and chemical properties of enantiomers and diastereomers
Enantiomers have identical physical and chemical properties; diastereomers have different physical and chemical properties
Optical activity is quantified by _________ and _______.
direction and magnitude
When a beam of polarized light is passed through a solution of a chiral compound the plane of light will be rotated either to the right or left
Optical activity
