Consider the 1,2-Dichloro Derivative of Ethylene in Which One of the Hydrogen

question 110

Multiple Choice

Consider the 1,2-dichloro derivative of ethylene in which one of the hydrogen atoms on each of the carbon atoms in ethylene is substituted with a chlorine atom,giving the structural formula CHClCHCl.Does this molecule have cis-trans isomers? Remember that ethylene does NOT.

• A)yes,because the chlorines can be placed on the same or opposite sides of the double bond
• B)yes,because the chlorines can be placed on either one or both of the carbons
• C)no,because both the formula and bonds are the same in all skeletal structures
• D)no,because the two structures can interconvert through bond rotation
• E)no,because there are less than four atoms bound to each carbon

Paralysis

The loss of muscle function in part of your body, often resulting from damage to the nervous system.

Long-Term Potentiation

Long-Term Potentiation is a long-lasting increase in signal transmission between two neurons, leading to a stronger synaptic connection.

Neural Excitability

The ability of neurons to react to stimuli and convert them into nerve impulses, crucial for processes such as sensory perception, motor control, and cognitive functioning.

Reuptake Potential

The capacity of neurons to reabsorb neurotransmitters after they have been released into the synaptic cleft, affecting neurotransmission.
