Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the process of transforming a molecule into a new molecule which has the same number, but a different arrangement, of atoms?
2. What are the names of the two classifications of isomers?
3. Structural isomers are sets of molecules that have the same molecular formula but where the atoms of each molecule are bonded together in a different order. Each structural isomer has a different structural formula. Which of the following is NOT a type of structural isomer?
4. What is the name of a pair of constitutional isomers where a hydrogen atom migrates between an oxygen atom and either a carbon or nitrogen atom, and is accompanied by the switching of a single bond to a double bond?
5. Stereoisomers are sets of molecules where the molecular formula and atom arrangements are the same but are different in the orientations of the atoms in the three-dimensional space. Several classifications of stereoisomers exist. Which classification of stereoisomer contains a set of isomers which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other?
6. When two different functional groups are attached to the double bonds of stereoisomeric molecules, what terms are used to describe the relative orientation of the functional groups?
7. Is E-Z notation used to describe alkene stereoisomers with at least three different functional groups on the double bond?
8. A racemic mixture, or racemate, is a mixture that has an equal amount of left and right handed enantiomers. Which chemical based industry regularly uses racemic mixtures?
9. Epirubicin and doxorubicin are drugs used in cancer chemotherapy. Are these drugs isomers of each other?
