Structure and Formulae cont’d

Students should be able to:

Condensed
CH 3 (CH 2 ) 4 CH 3 ; CH 3 CH 2 OH

Benzene can be
represented by

and cyclohexane by

1.6. apply the IUPAC rules to
named organic compounds;

1.7. define, structural Examples should be
isomerism; given. Include chain,
functional group and
positional isomers.

1.8. explain stereoisomerism; Geometrical (cis/trans)
and, isomers resulting from
restricted rotation about

C C

double bond; optical
isomerism due to
asymmetry in molecules
(confined to compounds
with one identified chiral
centre and drawing the
two optical isomers).
Optical isomers have an
effect on plane polarised
light. (No further
treatment required).

1.9. determine the possible
isomers from given
molecular formulae.
