  1. What is the best term to describe the relationship between A and each of the other molecules? Constitutional isomers? Conformations? Enantiomers? Diastereomers? Identical? B E C F A Are any of these molecules optically active? D G

  2. same The two dot structures for B are the same thing. When turned over, dots reverse! B E . . turn over turned over . . turned over . . . . . C F same . . . A turned over same same . . . Some structures (C,D,E) have to be turned over or they would have no dots (!) which is meaningless. D . . G turned over Dot Structures reveal which ones are the same molecule, but do not give conformations. Different conformations give the same dot structure.

  3. ANSWERS A-C and E are all the same constitutional isomer, 1,3,5-trichloro- , but F is 1,2,4-trichloro- • F is a constitutional isomer to A and to any of the others. • A (e,e,a) and B (a,a,e) are conformations • A (e,e,a) and C (e,e,e) are diastereomers • A and D are diastereomers (D is a conformation of C) • A and E are diastereomers (E is identical to D, turned left-to-right) • A and G are identical (G is the same as A turned left-to-right) Only F is optically active, all the rest are meso molecules! [a]D = 0 [a]D = 0

  4. Planes of Symmetry – Some of them have three planes of symmetry! B E . . turn over . . . . . . . C F . . . A no planes . . . D . . G All are meso except F
