Questions and Answers

What is configurational isomerism based on?

  • Different colors of isomers
  • Different spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule (correct)
  • Different electronic configurations of atoms
  • Different molecular weights of isomers
  • Why can configurational isomers be separated?

  • Due to their identical properties
  • Due to their inability to interconvert without breaking bonds (correct)
  • Due to their shared electronic configurations
  • Due to their similar spatial arrangements
  • What always happens when the configuration of a molecule changes?

  • Bonds are broken (correct)
  • The molecular weight changes
  • The molecule becomes unstable
  • The molecule changes color

    Configurational Isomerism

    • Configurational isomerism is based on the arrangement of atoms in space, resulting in non-superimposable mirror images.
    • Configurational isomers can be separated because they have different physical and chemical properties, despite having the same molecular formula and bond order.

    Configuration Change

    • When the configuration of a molecule changes, the molecule becomes a stereoisomer, which is a type of isomer that differs in its three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in space.
