Isomerism iit jee lecture for free in 2020

What is Isomerism?

In the study of organic chemistry we come across many cases when two or more compounds are made of equal number of like atoms. A molecular formula does not tell the nature of organic compound; sometimes several organic compounds may have same molecular formula.  These compounds possess the same molecular formula but differ from each other in physical or chemical properties, are called isomers and the phenomenon is termed isomerism (Greek, isos = equal; meros  = parts).
Isomerism in Organic Compounds
Since isomers have the same molecular formula, the difference in their properties must be due to different modes of the combination or arrangement of atoms within the molecule. Broadly speaking,there are two types of isomerism:
  • Structural Isomerism
  • Stereo Isomerism

Structural Isomerism

?When the isomerism is simply due to difference in the arrangement of atoms within the molecule without any reference to space, the phenomenon is termed structural isomerism. In other words, while they have same molecular formulas they possess different structural formulas. This type of isomerism which arises from difference in the structure of molecules, includes:
  1. Chain or Nuclear Isomerism;
  2. Positional Isomerism
  3. Functional Isomerism
  4. Metamerism and
  5. Tautomerism

Stereo Isomerism

When isomerism is caused by the different arrangements of atoms or groups in space, the phenomenon is called Stereoisomerism (Greek, Stereos = occupying space). The stereoisomers have the same structural formulas but differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms or groups in the molecule. In other words, stereoisomerism is exhibited by such compounds which have identical molecular structure but different configurations.Stereoisomerism is of two types :
  1. Geometrical or cis-trans isomerism 
  2. Optical Isomerism.
Let us explore the  concepts of isomerism in organic compounds  in the upcoming sub-topics.
  • Isomerism in Carbon Compounds
  • Chirality and Stereogenic Centers
  • Enantiomers Diastereomers and Meso Compounds
  • Cahn Ingold Prelog R S System
  • Fischer Projections and Exchange Method

Mole concept iit jee lectures for free in 2020

What is Mole? Atoms and molecules are too small to count. To solve this problem their numbers are expressed in terms of Avogadro’s number (N A  = 6.023 10 23 ).  Mole is the number equal to Avogadro’s number just like a dozen is equal to 12, a century means 100, a score means = 20. Mole can be defined as  a unit which represents  6.023  x10 23   particles of same matter. A mole (symbol mol) is defined as the amount of substance that contains as many atoms, molecules, ions, electrons or any other elementary entities as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12 gm of . The number of atoms in 12 gm of  is called Avogadro’s number . One atomic mass unit (amu)   The number of moles of a substance can be calculated by various means depending on data available, as follows. Number of moles of molecules Number of moles of atoms Number of moles of gases  (Standard molar volume at STP = 22.4 lit) Number of moles of particles e...
