a compound that rotates PPlight to the right designated with what sign?
Definition
meso compounds, racemic mixtures, lack chiral centers.
+, d
Term
difference between enantiomers and diastereomers?
Definition
enantiomers- mirror images- with opposite chiral configurations. same physical and chemical properties
diastereomers -non mirror images. different physical and chemical properties. include geometric (cis trans) isomers

yes
no
yes
Term
racemic mixtures are
Definition
50/50 of enantiomers
Term
what are the physical and chemical differences between cis and trans molecules.
Definition
cis- has dipole moment, more reactive, low MP, high heat of combustion, strong IM forces

trans- form crystals, no dipole moment,
