Question

___________ are organic molecules which rotate the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light. __________ is the reason for "handedness" in molecules; the property of an object that causes it to be nonsuperimposable on its mirror image. _________ are stereoisomers that are not mirror images. __________is an atom in a molecule that it bonded to four different atoms or groups of atoms ___________ are molecules which contain a plane of symmetry and chirality centers, but are achiral. _________ is an sp^3-hybridized atom that can become a chirality center by changing one of its attached groups. Estriol, a potent estrogenic hormone has been isolated from the urine of pregnant women. When 40 mg of estriol is dissolved in 1.0 mL of dioxane and placed in a sample tube with 1 dm path length a rotation of +2.32 is observed. Calculate the specific rotation for estriol. You must show calculations to cant full points!! MATCH each definition to one of the terms below. Place the letter of the term in live blank to the left of the definition. polarization addition reaction homolytic bond breakage electrophile polar reaction substitution nucleophile radical reaction elimination reaction heterolytic bond breakage

Explanation / Answer

13) Chiral molecules are the oraganic molecules that turn the plane of polarization of the plane polarized light.

14) Chirality is reason for the hardness in molecules, the property an object that causes it to be a nonsuperimposable on its mirror images

15) Diastereomers are the stereomers that are not mirror images.

16) Chirality center is an atom in a molecule that is bonded to four different atoms or group of atoms

17) Meso compounds are molecules that contain plane of symmetry, chirality centers but are achiral

18) prochirality center is an sp3 hybridized atom that can become a chirality center by changin one of the attached groups
