Optical isomerism

uhm so if a compound has a double bond but the rest of the chain is having all sp3 carbons then will it have optical isomerism? and does cyclic comppound have isomerism? if yes how?

cyclic compounds do have optical isomerism. thats what wedge dash indicate . molecular plane se upar and uss se neeche didnt understand your first ques

not if every sp3 carbon has 2 hydrogens

but arent they connected together in both sides in a cyclic then how is it ? i dont get it in a compound say for example, but2ene there is a double bond but also there are single bonded carbon will that show optical isomerism?

thats why no geometric isomerism...but if br and h is on carbon in cyclic the br can be above plane and h below AND br and be below and h above plane

in cyclic or the double bond one?

optical isomerism is only shown when carbon is bonded to 4 different groups

yeah that i know that is why i am asking i will show a example to let u know what i am asking , i dont think u guys understood that wht is my question

green carbons pe optical isomerism hoga

so if a compounds has one carbon with double it can still have the isomerism right? but i dont understand how the cyclic show

the carbon must be sp3 and must have 4 different grps/chains baaki chain mein kuch bhi ho agar nh2 ki jagah NHD hota toh N ke about bhi optical isomerism hota

this i have read

so this point clear now?
Sephrina

uhm to all cyclic will have isomerism with diff grps attached right? and the para, meta, ortho thing wont be much to use here right or will it be? is it related to plane of symmetry in cyclic?
CorrodedCoffin
CorrodedCoffin3mo ago
thats completely unrelated since theres no optical here yep

aah okk okk got it now so one without plane of symmetry in cyclic will have chiral ok got it +solved @hardcoreisdead @Imine
