- Skeletal diagram
- Lewis structure
- VSEPR diagram (correct)
- Molecular model
What is the difference between structural isomers and stereoisomers?
What is the difference between structural isomers and stereoisomers?
- Structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different atom locations, while stereoisomers have a similar geometric arrangement of atoms but differ in spatial position (correct)
- Structural isomers and stereoisomers are the same thing
- Structural isomers have a similar geometric arrangement of atoms but differ in spatial position, while stereoisomers have the same chemical formula but different atom locations
- Structural isomers have a different chemical formula, while stereoisomers have the same chemical formula but different atom locations
What are enantiomers?
What are enantiomers?
- Molecules that are not mirror images and can have different physical and chemical properties
- Molecules that have the same chemical formula but differ in their structural arrangement
- Equal amounts of the two enantiomers represented as dextro (+) and levo (-) forms
- Mirror images of each other and cannot be superimposed (correct)
