Answer
The statements provided are all accurate summaries of fundamental organic chemistry concepts.
- Statement 1: Carbon's 4 valence electrons and its ability to form sp³, sp², and sp hybrid orbitals correctly explain the tetrahedral, trigonal planar, and linear geometries observed in organic molecules, respectively. ✅ Correct.
- Statement 2: Constitutional isomers indeed differ in the connectivity of their atoms, while configurational isomers (like cis/trans isomers or D/L enantiomers) have the same connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. ✅ Correct.
- Statement 3: Tautomers are a specific type of constitutional isomer that exist in a dynamic equilibrium, which is often influenced by factors such as pH and solvent. The keto-enol system is a classic example of tautomerism. ✅ Correct.
- Statement 4: Chirality typically arises from an asymmetric carbon atom (an sp³ hybridized carbon) bonded to four different groups. Enantiomers, being non-superimposable mirror images, can exhibit significant differences in their biological activity due due to their specific interactions with chiral biological systems. ✅ Correct.
- Statement 5: The general formulas for alkanes () and cycloalkanes () are correct. Their naming follows IUPAC rules, which prioritize identifying the longest carbon chain (or ring), naming substituents, and assigning the lowest possible locant numbers to those substituents. ✅ Correct.
All the statements are correct.
