Answer:

1. Diastereomers have different physical properties (unlike most aspects of enantiomers) and often different chemical reactivity. ... Many conformational isomers are diastereomers as well. Diastereoselectivity is the preference for the formation of one or more than one diastereomer over the other in an organic reaction.

2. The result is a trans dibromide, as shown in the equation below

Explanation:

Diastereomers (sometimes called diastereoisomers) are a type of a stereoisomer.[1] Diasteoreomers are defined as non-mirror image non-identical stereoisomers. Hence, they occur when two or more stereoisomers of a compound have different configurations at one or more (but not all) of the equivalent (related) stereocenters and are not mirror images of each other.[2] When two diastereoisomers differ from each other at only one stereocenter they are epimers. Each stereocenter gives rise to two different configurations and thus typically increases the number of stereoisomers by a factor of two.

2. the addition of bromine to the trans and

cis isomers of 1,2-diphenylethene, more commonly known as trans- and cis-stilbene.

In both cases, the nucleophilic double bond undergoes an electrophilic addition reaction

by the bromine reagent which proceeds via a cyclic bromonium ion. The addition of

bromine begins at one side of the double bond (either side is equally likely, but only one

option is drawn) and is followed by attack of bromide ion on the bromonium ion (again,

attack could occur at either carbon since the ion is symmetric, but only one option is

drawn). The result is a trans dibromide, as shown in the equation below:

Since the cis and trans isomers of stilbene have different geometries, it follows

that upon reaction with bromine they give rise to stereoisomeric bromonium ions and,

eventually, products that differ only by their stereochemistry.

Explain how intermolecular attractions between molecules influence the bulk of properties of a material
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

<em><u>Intermolecular forces determine bulk properties, such as the melting points of solids and the boiling points of liquids. Liquids boil when the molecules have enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular attractive forces that hold them together, thereby forming bubbles of vapor within the liquid.</u></em>
