Question
Following types of compounds ( as I, II )
Following types of compounds ( as I, II )
are studied in terms of isomerism in :
A.
chain isomerism
B.
position isomerism
C.
conformers
D.
stereoisomerism
Answer :
stereoisomerism
Solution :
TIPS/Formulae :
Stereoisomerism is of two types i.e., geometrical isomerism and optical isomerism
Both the structures shows sterioisomerism. Structure I shows geometrical isomerism as it contains two different atoms $$\left( H \right)$$ and groups $$\left( {C{H_3}} \right)$$ attached to each carbon
Structure II shows optical isomerism as it contains a chiral carbon (attached to four different group) atom.
