Question

Can someone help me with these organic questions? I'm in serious need of help and I honestly don't know what to do right now

Answer 1

I have the answers but idk why e,h,k, and d are identical instead of enantiomers

Answer 2

e is identical - you only need to flip the second over to see why

Answer 3

- same with h - flip 2nd one over east to west

Answer 4

yeah but I can't super impose them onto each other, wouldn't that make it an enantiomer or no?

Answer 5

you can superimpose

Answer 6

wow idk then im probably just not understanding anything then

Answer 7

u dont need to worry about superimposition when it comes to straight chain alkanes

Answer 8

superimposition is important in chical compounds, double bond containing compounds, and rings

Answer 9

alright I think I understand but at the same time I don't because that's one of the only things I know about how to differentiate them. If they have a plane of symmetry and if they can be superimposed or not

Answer 10

u dont need to superimpose to understand if two compounds identical or not, in alkanes i mean
all you do is count number of carbons in both
and check if functional group is on the same carbon in both compounds and well if there are additional groups - also check if they are on same carbon in both compounds

Answer 11

ill try to show it here
