A cyclohexane molecule in chair conformation. Hydrogen atoms in axial positions are shown in red, while those in equatorial positions are in blue. Cyclohexane conformations are any of several three-dimensional shapes adopted by molecules of cyclohexane. Because many compounds feature structurally similar six-membered rings, the structure and ...
trans -but-2-ene. Cis–trans isomerism, also known as geometric isomerism, describes certain arrangements of atoms within molecules. The prefixes " cis " and " trans " are from Latin: "this side of" and "the other side of", respectively. [ 1 ] In the context of chemistry, cis indicates that the functional groups (substituents) are on the same ...
Critical point. 554 K (281 °C), 4070 kPa. Std enthalpy change of fusion, Δ fusH o. 2.68 kJ/mol crystal I → liquid. Std entropy change of fusion, Δ fusS o. 9.57 J/ (mol·K) crystal I → liquid. Std enthalpy change of vaporization, Δ vapH o. 32 kJ/mol. Std entropy change of vaporization, Δ vapS o.
Conformational isomerism. Rotation about single bond of butane to interconvert one conformation to another. The gauche conformation on the right is a conformer, while the eclipsed conformation on the left is a transition state between conformers. Above: Newman projection; below: depiction of spatial orientation.
Structural isomer. In chemistry, a structural isomer (or constitutional isomer in the IUPAC nomenclature [ 1 ]) of a compound is another compound whose molecule has the same number of atoms of each element, but with logically distinct bonds between them. [ 2 ][ 3 ] The term metamer was formerly used for the same concept. [ 4 ]
A Newman projection is a drawing that helps visualize the 3-dimensional structure of a molecule. [1] This projection most commonly sights down a carbon-carbon bond, making it a very useful way to visualize the stereochemistry of alkanes. A Newman projection visualizes the conformation of a chemical bond from front to back, with the front atom ...
1,2-Dimethylcyclopropane is a cycloalkane consisting of a cyclopropane ring substituted with two methyl groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms. [1] It has three stereoisomers, one cis -isomer and a pair of trans - enantiomers, which differ depending on the orientation of the two methyl groups. As with other cyclopropanes, ring tension results ...
Molecular geometry. Geometry of the water molecule with values for O-H bond length and for H-O-H bond angle between two bonds. Molecular geometry is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms that constitute a molecule. It includes the general shape of the molecule as well as bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles and any other ...
