CHM 2210 Eastern Florida State University Organic Chemistry Questions
Module 6 CH 4 MasteryCHM 2210 – Dr. Iannotti
Draw 3 Newman projections (those are the ones with the circles) of butane, sighting
down the C2-C3 bond. Show the eclipsed, anti and gauche configurations.
Based on the previous question, provide a neatly drawn plot of energy versus dihedral
angle for rotation around the C2-C3 bond of butane (Hint: Which structures, eclipsed,
anti or gauche have the highest or lowest energy?)

Module 7 Lecture Activity
CHM 2210 – Dr. Iannotti
1. What is the relationship between the following two compounds?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Constitutional isomers
Stereoisomers
Identical
Not isomers, different compounds entirely.
2. Is the following alkene cis, trans, or neither?
3. Draw the enantiomer of the following compound.
OH
NH2
4. Which of the following structures is different from the other three?
5. Which of the following have the S configuration?
6. In the lecture, we talk about (R)-carvone smelling like peppermint, while (S)-carvone smells
like caraway. Do an internet search and find a pair of molecules where one stereoisomer has
different properties than its non-superimposible mirror image. As usual, an extra point for the
fun, weird and unusual.
