Defining feature of isomers?
Defining feature of isomers?
Isomers have the same molecular formula but a different spatial arrangement of atoms.
What does 'E' signify in E-Z isomerism?
What does 'E' signify in E-Z isomerism?
In E-Z isomerism, 'E' signifies that the high priority groups are on opposite sides of the double bond.
What are position isomers?
What are position isomers?
Position isomers have the same molecular formula and functional groups, but the functional groups are attached to different carbon atoms.

Study Notes
Nomenclature
- Empirical Formula: simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
- Molecular Formula: true number of atoms of each element in a compound
- General Formula: formula that all members of a homologous organic series follow
- Structural Formula: shows the structural arrangement of atoms within a molecule
- Displayed Formula: shows every atom and every bond in an organic compound
- Skeletal Formula: shows only the bonds in a compound and any non-carbon atoms, assuming hydrogen is bonded to carbon unless stated otherwise
Homologous Series
- Organic compounds often part of a homologous series, where all members follow a general formula and react similarly
- Each consecutive member differs by CH2 and has an increase in boiling points as chain length increases
Reaction Mechanisms
- Show the movement of electrons within a reaction, using curly arrows
- Used to show reactions of organic compounds
Isomerism
- Isomers: molecules with same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms within the molecule
- Structural Isomers: different structural arrangement of atoms, can be straight chains or branched chains
- Position Isomers: functional group in a different position of the carbon chain
- Functional Group Isomers: different arrangement of the same molecular formula, resulting in a different functional group
- Stereoisomers: different spatial arrangement, including E-Z isomerism
- E-Z Isomerism: limited rotation around a double carbon bond, resulting in groups being 'together' or 'apart'
Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) Priority Rules
- Priority of different groups in molecules that can display E-Z isomerism
