Compounds having the same molecular form...

Compounds having the same molecular formula, same structure with different configuration are called stereoisomers and the phenomenon is called stereoisomerism. The phenomenon is broadly classified with three types called (a) geometrical isomerism (b) optical isomerism and (c) conformational isomerism.

Constitutional isomerism is also known as structural isomerism. The isomers which differ in the connectivity of their atoms are called constitutional isomers. Which of the compound will show tautomerism?

Complex compounds are molecular compounds which retain their indentities even when dissolved in water. They do not give all the simple ions in solution but instead furnish complex ions. The complex compounds are often called coordination compounds because certain groups called ligands are attached to the central metal ion by coordinate or dative bonds. Coordination compounds exhibit isomerism, both structural and stereoisomerism. The struculre, magnetic property, colour and electrical properties of complexes are explained by various theories. which of the following pairs, both the complexes have the same geometry?

Structural isomers have different covalent linkage of atoms. Stereoisomers are compounds that have same sequence of covalent bonds but differ in the relative dispositions of their atoms in space. Geometri cal and optical isomers are the two important types of configurational isomers. The compound with double bonds or ring structure have restricted rotation, so exist in two geometrical forms. The double bonds in larger rings (ring size 10 carbon large) can also cause geometrical isomerism. The optical isomers rotate the plane of plane-polarised light. A sp^(3) -hybridised carbon atom bearing four different types of substituents is called an asymmetric centre or chiral centre. A chiral object or molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. Stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. The stereosomers that the pot mirror images of each other are called diastereomers. Diasteremers have different physical properties. A racemic mixture is optically inactive and contains equal amounts of both the enantiomers. Resolution refers to method of separating a racemic mixture. Into two pure enantiomers. A meso compound is an optically inactive stereoisomer, which is achiral due to the presence of an internal plane of symmetry or centre of symmetry within the molecule. The number of chiral centres present in the following compounds is
