Answer:
because of catenation of carbon.
Explanation:
Catenation is the binding of an element to its self through covalent bonds to form chain or ring molecules. carbon is able to form continuous links with other carbon atoms which is the reason for the existence of a large number of organic compounds.
Answer:
The third one makes the most sense
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
A. Constitutional or structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
B. Conformational isomers are compounds having the same atom to atom connectivity but differ by rotation about one or more single bonds.
C. Stereo isomers are compounds having the same molecular mass and atom to atom connectivity but different arrangement of atoms and groups in space.
I. Enantiomers are stereo isomers (optical isomers particularly) that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
II. Diasteromers are optical isomers that are not mirror images of each other.
Both diasteromers and enantiomers are types of optical isomers which in turn is one of the types of stereo isomers.
Stereo isomers differ from conformational isomers in that the arrangement of atoms in stereo isomers is permanent while conformational isomers results from free rotations in molecules about single bonds.
