No, it is NOT either both. Besides 'benzenepropanol' is not an official name.

Is 2 dimethyl 5 methyl octylamine an optical isomer or geometrical isomer and why?

You have to state more precisely WHERE the second methyl-group and the amine-group is situated before this Q. can be answered.


Draw the two geometrical isomers of chloroaquotetrammine cobalt 2 chloride?

Chloroaquotetrammine cobalt(II) chloride has two geometrical isomers: cis isomer and trans isomer. In the cis isomer, the chloride and ammonia ligands are adjacent to each other, while in the trans isomer, they are opposite to each other. This results in different spatial arrangements of ligands around the central cobalt ion.


How many isomers of C3H6Cl2 are possible?

1,2-dichloropropane exists as an optical isomer.


Is 2 methyl 2 propane amine an optical isomer or a geometrical isomer and why?

Geometric:In general, such isomers contain double bonds, which cannot rotate, but they can also arise from ring structures, wherein the rotation of bonds is greatly restricted.Cis and trans isomers occur both in organic molecules and in inorganic coordination complexes. This is not the case in 2-Methyl-Propane-2-Amine.Optical:A chiral molecule is a type of molecule that lacks an internal plane of symmetry and thus has a non-superposable mirror image. The feature that is most often the cause of chirality in molecules is the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom.Either this is not the case in 2-Methyl-Propane-2-Amine:The C(2) atom of propane is (by far) not chiral, not even in 2-Hydroxy-Propane-2-Amine. The C(2) atom holds 3 or 2 Methyl-groups from the propane structure.


What do you get when you react Propanal and hydrogen cyanide. Also why is it optically inactive and what name is given to such an inactive product?

I can't remember what you get but it's optically inactive because it's a racemic mixture. Which means that there is a 50:50 ratio of the (+) optical isomer and the (-) optical isomer. It's inactive because the (+) rotates plain polarised light clockwise and the (-) isomer rotates plain polarised light anticlockwise. So they cancel each other out because it's a racemic mix and therefore shows no optical activity.

What is the relation between optical path and geometrical path?

What is an arrangement in which substituted groups are on the same side of a double bond?

A stereoisomer in which substituted groups are on the same side of a double bond is called a cis isomer. This arrangement results in a geometrical isomer with different chemical and physical properties compared to its trans isomer counterpart.


What is the difference between optical isomer and optically active isomer?

Optical isomers are those which have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms their optical activity means a tendency to rotate the plane of plane polarized light but some of such molecules have an internal symmetry as meso form of Tartaric acid , this is the optical isomer of Tartaric acid but is optically inactive.

Why do cells produce only one form of a chiral compound rather than a racemic mixture?

A racemic mixture is one of two optical isomers. By way of analogy, your right hand is the mirror image of the left, there are chemical compounds that this also occurs in. In the body most chemical reactions are mediated by proteins called enzymes. Enzymes are not simple compounds and are very selective in how they bind reactants. That being the case, they only work with one optical isomer and the end products are always of one optical isomer. see http://www.answers.com/optical+isomer

Why an organic compound is able to show optical isomerism but not geometrical isomerism?

Optical isomerism arises due to the presence of chiral centers in a molecule, which leads to the molecule being non-superimposable on its mirror image. Geometrical isomerism, on the other hand, arises from restricted rotation around a double bond or ring. Organic compounds can exhibit optical isomerism if they have chiral centers but typically do not show geometrical isomerism unless there are specific structural features like double bonds or rings that limit rotation.

What is the difference between geometrical and optical isomerism?

Geometrical isomerism arises due to the restricted rotation around a bond, resulting in different spatial arrangements of atoms. Optical isomerism, on the other hand, arises due to the presence of chiral centers, leading to molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other (enantiomers).


Difference between D L Sugars?

D and L are optical isomer of each other, or non superimposible mirror images. The convention uses Glyceraldhyde as the reference. In a fisher projection the OH of glyceraldehyde is on the right side ( more improtantly in the R configuration)in the D isomer and on the left side ( or the molecule is in the L configuration) in the L isomer. So for all other sugars it looks at the last chiral center for the molecule if the chiral center is R it is a D isomer if the last chiral center is in the S configuration it is an L isomer.
