A molecule that has a mirror image but cannot be placed on top of it perfectly is termed...

What is a chiral object?

100

Another term for cis-trans isomers...

What is geometric isomers?

100

This angle of rotation is allowed without changing the stereochemistry for Fischer Projections:

What is 180 degrees?

100

The label "R" for an asymmetric carbon atom indicates this direction:

What is right; clockwise.

100

Which direction would (R)-alanine rotate plane-polarized light?

What is we cannot predict which direction a particular enantiomer (either R or S) will rotate the plane polarized light.

200

The difference between constitutional isomers and stereoisomers...

What is constitutional isomers differ in their bonding sequence (their atoms are connected differently); stereoisomers have the same bonding sequence, but differ in their orientation in space.

200

Cis-1,2-difluorocyclopentane chiral...

What is no?

200

This would cause the R/S configuration of a Fischer projection to flip:

What is if the 4th priority group was on a horizontal.

200

This term describes the structural relationship between (2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-trichloroheptane and (2S,3S,5R)-2,3,5-trichloroheptane: (Options: not isomers, constitutional isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, conformers)

What is constitutional isomers.

200

Predict the product(s) of the following reaction. CH3CH2O-Na+ + CH3Br --> ????

What is CH3CH2OCH3 + NaBr

300

Cis-1,2-dichlorocyclopentane chirality...

What is no; it has an internal plane of symmetry and is therefore achiral.

300

True or false: Cis and trans isomers can interconvert between configurations...

What is false?

300

Draw the Fischer projections for (2S, 3S)-2-fluoro-3-iodobutane and (2R, 3S)-2-fluoro-3-iodobutane. The structural relationship between these two compounds is:

What is see the board for structure; diastereomers.

300

Draw the structure of (2R,3R)-2,3-dibromo-3-chloropentane using a line structure. Stereochemistry must be shown clearly.

What is see the board :)

300

The term for compounds that rotate plane polarized light toward the right and the left:

What is optically-active isomers

400

True or False: All stereo centers are chiral centers.

What is false?

400

Chiral centers of 2,3-dimethylpent-4-ene... 

What is 1?

400

Draw the Fischer projections for (2S, 3R) 2-bromo-3-chlorobutane and (2R, 3S) 2-bromo-3-chlorobutane. What is the relationship between these compounds?

What is see the board for structures; enantiomers.

400

Which would have the higher melting point: (R)-2-bromobutane or (S)-2-bromobutane?

What is they would be expected to be nearly identical?

400

A racemic mixture is defined as:

What is a solution of equal amounts of two enantiomers so that the mixture is optically inactive?

500

Draw the structure of a meso form of 1,3-dichlorocyclopentane. Take particular care to indicate three-dimensional stereochemical detail properly.

What is see board!!!!!!!

500

This type of stereoisomers would be possible to separate via distillation? Explain briefly.

What is diastereomers; they would have different boiling points because they don't have the same physical properties because they aren't mirror image molecules.

500

Draw the Fischer projection of (S)-2-hydroxybutanoic acid, CH3CH2CH(OH)COOH.

What is see the board!

500

Draw the enantiomers of 1,3-dibromobutane and label them R and S.

What is see the board!
