What is this?


HI, I was wandering what is this a formula of? and can anyone show me the two geometrical isomers of this compound. Thanks

Maybe give it more than 27 minutes for a reply. Also posting a better title may help in the future. There are a ton of threads titled "What's this." Something more specific like "Drawing of unknown bromine containing compound" or something like that may get you more views.

Check into dibromo alkenes I think. Maybe it will help.

Here is a semi related link.

A question for school, no doubt.
Googling 'geometrical isomers' will lead you to a very nice wiki page explaining cis/trans isomers, and after reading that it will be a piece of cake to figure it out by yourself.

I only see four carbons - this would be 1,3-dibromo-1-butene. There isn't enough information in your drawing to determine the orientation across the double bond or the chirality at the 3-carbon position. I presume the various combinations of possibilities at those two sites would give you the possible geometric isomers you are looking for.

Also what do you get when you mix serine and valine? I know water but I dont know the next one

CH2=CH-CH2-CHBr2 would be an isomer that is not a geometrical isomer. Isomers have the same molecular formula but different structures. Geometrical isomers are types of isomers which have the same connectedness of atoms but different three-dimensional geometries.

Usually, I get a mixture of serine and valine! ;)

Under the appropriate conditions, when you combine amino acids you can form AMIDES

nevermind about the structure but I have a question "Why do all molecules of a specific protein that is also an enzyme always have exactly the same amino acids in exactly the same order?". Thanks

What Bot0nist said!

But that's what DNA does - it codes for every enzyme that our bodies will produce. The transcription of DNA in a cell links amino acids together one at a time to form an exact replica of the same protein being made in any other cell. The genetic code, at its simplest level, is just a way to determine the order of amino acids linked to form proteins. The proteins carry out all the other functions in the body.
