What is the number of isomers can be formed for n number of chiral compounds?
For a molecule with n chiral centers, there are a possible 2^n isomers that can be formed.
How do you calculate isomers of a sugar molecule?
The same way you calculate the molecular mass of any compound. Alternatively, if you know the mass of one isomer, you don't need to do any calculations. All isomers having the same formula have the same mass.
Different compounds can be formed from similar elements?
Yes. And this might blow your mind but different compounds can even be formed from the same number and type of elements. Isomers! Example: Theobromine= vasodilator Theophylline= anti-inflammatory Same amount and type of elements, but arranged differently makes a completely different compound.
Can molecule ethylene have geometric isomers?
Yes, they do, but only those having an even number of continuous double bonds. Dialkenes having two continuous double bonds, and they can form optical isomers because the groups present on the carbons lie on different perpendicular planes. So, they are not symmetric in any fashion, and hence chiral. This makes them optically active, having two optical isomers.
How much chiral carbon does tetracycline have?
The number of chiral center of tetracycline is 5 .. there are 5 chiral carbons.If there is confusion about the 25=32 Remark, the previous writer was using the equation- 2 to the power of n= then the number of possible stereoisomers, where n is the number of stereogenic centers, hence 2 to the power of 5 is 32.
What is the number of isomers can be formed for n number of chiral compounds?
For a molecule with n chiral centers, there are a possible 2^n isomers that can be formed.
What are variations called isomers isotopes polymers molecules?
Chemical isomers: compounds with the same chemical composition but with a different structure.Nuclear isomers: isotopes having different half lives.Isotopes: atoms having a different number of neutrons in the atomic nucleus.Polymers: compounds formed from many monomers.Molecule: an entitity formed from two or more atoms linked by chemical bonds.

What is the difference between optical and structural isomers?
Structural isomers also called constitutional isomers are different compounds that have same molecular formula but different molecular structure. Structural isomers have same number of each type of atoms but the atoms are connected in a different order in them. Structural isomerism is seen in organic compounds. It can be due to different arrangement of carbon chain, due to different position of functional group on the carbon chain, due to different functional groups that give their family of compounds same molecular formula. Difference in arrangement of atoms is visible if structural formulas are written for compounds having same molecular formula. Like structural isomers, stereoisomers also have same molecular formula. Stereoisomers are not structural isomers. Stereoisomers have their atoms connected in same sequence( same constitution), but they differ in the arrangement of atoms in space. Cis and trans isomers of alkenes are examples of stereoisomers. Carbon chain arrangement, position of functional groups, and everything that could be different in structural isomerism is same here.

Is it true that atoms with the same number of protons but diffrent numbers of neutrons are called isomers?
Not isomers, Isotopes
What is the maximum number of 1to1 compounds that can be formed from four different elements?
six (n-1)!
Why are compounds formed from ionic bonding said to be neutral compounds?
Because the number of positive charges will that form the bond will equal the number of negative charges thereby canceling each other out.
What are structural isomers?
i think it is when a molecule can be expressed in several different ways for example: C4H8 could be butane or 2 methyl propane. It would still have the same number of Carbons and Hydrogens but its structure would be different.
What compounds are formed from noble gases?
Because noble gases are very unreactive only a small number of compounds is known: halides, oxides, salts, especially from xenon. Some compounds are unstable.
