STEREOCHEMISTRY

1. Define stereochemistry and explain its significance in organic chemistry.


2. What are enantiomers? Give an example of a pair of enantiomers.
3. Explain the concept of chirality with examples.
4. Describe the di erence between enantiomers and diastereomers.
Provide examples.
5. What is optical activity? How do you measure it in a laboratory?
6. Explain the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules for assigning R and S
configurations.
7. Draw and assign the R/S configuration for 2-butanol.

isomerism.
10. Describe the significance of the plane of symmetry in determining
molecular chirality.
11. What are racemic mixtures, and how can they be resolved into pure
enantiomers?
