Bromo-4-fluorohexane has two chiral carbon atoms; therefore, the maximum number of possible stereoisomers that can be formed is

four (determined by using the formula 2n, where n is the number of chiral carbon atoms). draw the four possible stereoisomers of 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

Here we have to draw the four isomers of the compound 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

The four isomers of the compound is shown in the figure.      

In an organic molecule the chiral -C center is that where four (4) different groups are present. In 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the 3 and 4 positions are chiral centers. The possible isomers of a molecule can be obtained from the formula 2n. As here 2 chiral centers are present thus number of stereoisomers will be 2×2 = 4.

The four different isomers as shown in the figure are 3R-, 4R-; 3S-, 4S; 3R, 4S and 3S-, 4R- 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

In the 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the functional groups are -Br, C₂H₅, -C₃H₆F and -H for 3-position and -F, -C₂H₅, -C₃H₆ and -H for 4-position respectively.

The priority of the -3 position will be Br > C₃H₆F > C₂H₅ > H and for -4 position F > C₃H₆Br > C₂H₅ > H. If the rotation from the higher priority group to lower is clockwise and anticlockwise then the S- and R- notation are used respectively. However if the -H atom is present at the horizontal position then the notation will be reverse.

Thus the four isomers of the compound is shown.

riadik2000 [5.3K]
Oxygen is needed to carry out a lot of biochemical processes in the body. If the amount of oxygen available to the blood decreases significantly a lot of things will go wrong in the body. For instance, lack of adequate oxygen will lead to the death of neurons which will eventually leads to brain cells death and irreparable brain damage. Oxygen is also needed for cellular respiration, without respiration, there will not be oxygen for carrying out various cellular activities and this will result into death. Oxygen deprivation will also leads to difficulty in breathing and other associated problems.

Three carbon atoms are linked by single covalent bonds such that they form the shape of a V. All of the unshared electrons form
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

C) 8

Explanation:

Total number of carbon atoms = 3

Number of single bonds = 3

So, each carbon is bonded to the next carbon with the single bond, Number of unshared electrons left with the terminate carbons are 3 and with the intermediate carbon is 2.

Thus, the two terminate carbon have 3 hydrogen each and the intermediate will have 2.

<u>Total - 8</u>
