6 sample questions

Question 1.
What is the definition of structural isomerism?
Show hintHide hint
Think of molecules having the same formula but different shapes.
Question 2.
Provide an example of chain isomerism.
Show hintHide hint
Look for molecules with the same number of carbon atoms but different arrangements.
3Question 3.
What is structural isomerism?
- Different molecular formula
- Same molecular formula, different structures
- Different functional groups
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how structure relates to the same formula.
4Question 4.
Is metamerism a type of structural isomerism?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember, it’s about different groups attached.
Question 5.
Draw all structural isomers of C4H10 and discuss their differences in boiling points.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how branching might affect the boiling point due to surface area.
Question 6.
Consider a molecule C5H12 and identify all possible position isomers when a functional group is introduced at different positions.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how each position alters the compound's properties such as solubility and reactivity.
