BIOL 2112 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Molecular Geometry, Mirror Image, Hydroxy Group
Document Summary
Lecture 4 functional groups: name the property that gives carbon its ability to form the skeleton of very diverse structures. (one word lecture notes) Tetra-valamnce: what is the effect of a double bond on the normal stacked tetrahedral conformation of a hydrocarbon chain containing 3 carbon atoms. (pg. Its on the same plane, would be flat: list three elements that are covalently compatible with carbon and, along with. Carbon, are the most common elements that compose the macromolecules of living organisms. (lecture notes: a. What is the general definition of an isomer? (pg. Bond angle, arrangement around the bonds: describe an enantiomer and give an example. (pgs. Mirror image, one is active and one is inactive: describe two critical properties that functional groups convey to organic molecules. (lecture notes, in the reaction diagrams shown below, which functional group is not present, hydroxyl b.
