Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
A compound has three chiral centers. What is the maximum number of stereoisomers possible?
Assign the R or S configuration to a chiral center using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules.
Define enantiomers.
Describe the difference between enantiomers and diastereomers.
Describe the term 'optical activity'.
Explain why 2,3-dibromobutane can exist as three stereoisomers.
Name the process by which a racemic mixture is separated into its individual enantiomers.
The optical rotation of a pure enantiomer is +25°. What is the optical rotation of its racemic mixture?
The specific rotation of a solution is calculated using the formula: [α] = α / (l × c). What do l and c represent?
What is the difference between cis and trans isomers in alkenes?
What is the main difference between conformational and configurational isomers?
What is the relationship between (R)-2-butanol and (S)-2-butanol?
