In Chemistry, an enantiomer are mirror images of each other. An optically active isometer has equal parts for the enantiometer. An isomer are compounds that are structured differently but have the same molecular formula.

What are the various subgroups of structural isomers?

Structural Isomers- differ in the covalent arrangement of their atoms Geometric Isomers- differ in spatial arrangement around double bonds Enantiomers- mirror images of each other


What are stereo isomers?

plane polarised light is being used. A solution of one enantiomer rotates the plane of polarisation in a clockwise direction. This enantiomer is known as the (+) form. A solution of the other enantiomer rotates the plane of polarisation in an anti-clockwise direction. This enantiomer is known as the (-) form. If the solutions are equally concentrated the amount of rotation caused by the two isomers is exactly the same - but in opposite directions. When optically active substances are made in the lab, they often occur as a 50/50 mixture of the two enantiomers. This is known as a racemic mixture or racemate. It has no effect on plane polarised light.


How many isomers nonane have?

Nonane has a total of 75 isomers, which includes straight chain isomers, branched chain isomers, and cyclic isomers.


How many isomers for dibromopropane?

There are two isomers for dibromopropane: 1,2-dibromopropane and 2,2-dibromopropane.


What molecules have the same molecular formula but different structures and properties?

Isomers are compounds that have same molecular formulas but different structures. A familiar example is the case of glucose and fructose. Both have the same formula viz, C6H1206. But they have different structures and hence exhibit different properties.

Three types of isomers?

Three types of isomers are structural isomers (different connectivity of atoms), stereoisomers (same connectivity but different spatial arrangement), and conformational isomers (different spatial arrangement due to rotation around single bonds).
