Question

(1). Why are cis and trans isomers of succinic acid impossible?

(2). Define isomerization.

(3). What must happen during isomerization?

Answer 1

succinic acid due to in succinic acid has no unsaturated double bonds such that we cant explain cis and trans isomers но он In chemistry isomerization (also isomerisation) is the process by which one molecule is transformed into another molecule which has exactly the same atoms, but the atoms have a different arrangemente.g. A-B-C B-A-C (these related molecules are known as isomers). In some molecules and under some conditions, isomerization occurs spontaneously.Many isomers are equal or roughly equal in bond energy, and so exist in roughly equal amounts, provided thatthey can interconvert somewhatfreely, thatis, the energy barrier between the two isomers is not too high. When the isomerization occurs intramoleculardyit is considered a rearrangementreaction An example of an grganometallicisomerization is the production of decaphenyferrocene, [(n-C.Ph.)-Fe] from its linkage isomer Ph Ph reflux Ph Ph Ph Ph xylene, 12 h Ph Ph Ph Ph Ph Ph
