28/10/99 Isomers Structural Isomers a) Butane (C4H10) 2-methylpropane (C4H10) The OH bond is polar, the CO bond is less polar, thus the alcohol would have the higher boiling point and be soluble in water. b) 1,2-dichloroethene requires cis or trans. 1,2-dichloroethane does not require cis or trans because they would both represent the same molecule (to move chlorine from the same side to opposite sides only requires that the C – C single bond be rotated). 1,1-dimethylcyclopentane a) not isomers (they don’t have the same chemical formula: C5H12 vs. C5H10) b) structural isomers c) geometric isomers d) not isomers (both diagrams represent the exact same molecule) Polymers Monomer: the smallest repeating unit of a polymer (propene in polypropylene). Polymer: a long chain molecule made up of many small identical units (monomers). Addition polymerization: a reaction in which unsaturated monomers combine with each other to form a polymer. Teflon, polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene (pop bottles, grocery bags), polystyrene (packing material), Plexiglas, polyvinyl chloride (vinyl), natural rubber, etc. * 1-butene 2-butene 2-methylpropene cyclobutane methylcyclopropane C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 C H 3 C H 3 C H C H 3 C H 3 a) C4H8 has more isomers because the position of the double affects the name and because ring structures can be drawn. aldehyde ketone alcohols ether trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane For more lessons, visit *
