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 (CnH2n+2\text{C}_{\text{n}}\text{H}_{2\text{n}+2}) and cycloalkanes (CnH2n\text{C}_{\text{n}}\text{H}_{2\text{n}}) 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.
