So there are two possibilities at the first double bond, two possibilities at the second, and two possibilities at the third. How many possibilities in total?Janiceleong26 said:
6?DrClaude said:
No. Think of it as a coin toss.Janiceleong26 said:
Well.. In a coin toss, the probability of getting either a heads or a tail is 1/2. So if we toss three times, then the total probability of getting either a heads or a tail would be (1/2)^3 , am I right?DrClaude said:
Right. But you should be looking at how many possible outcomes.Janiceleong26 said:
I see. Thanks!DrClaude said:
The number of cis-teams isomers can be determined by counting the number of possible arrangements of the cis-teams in a molecule. This can be done using mathematical formulas or by drawing out the structures and identifying the different isomers.
Cis-teams isomers are a type of geometric isomers, meaning they have the same chemical formula but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. In cis-teams isomers, the atoms are arranged in a specific way that results in different physical and chemical properties.
Cis-teams isomers have the atoms arranged on the same side of the molecule, while trans-teams isomers have the atoms arranged on opposite sides. This difference in arrangement can affect the molecule's polarity, melting point, and other properties.
Cis-teams isomers are important because they can have different biological activities and properties compared to their trans-teams isomer counterparts. This makes them crucial in the pharmaceutical industry for developing new drugs with specific properties.
One example of cis-teams isomers is cis-1,2-dichloroethylene and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. Both molecules have the same chemical formula (C2H2Cl2) but differ in their spatial arrangement, resulting in different physical and chemical properties.
