Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: (1) Cis-trans isomers have the same molecular formula and also the same structural formula.
(2) Molecules of the compound 1,3-dichlorocyclohexane contain 12 hydrogen atoms.
(3) The product from the reaction of one molecule of ethane with one molecule of Br₂ is 1,2-dibromoethane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) False - Cis-trans isomers have the same molecular formula but different spatial (geometric) arrangements, not the same structural formula.2) False - 1,3-dichlorocyclohexane contains 10 hydrogen atoms, not 12, because two of the hydrogens are replaced by chlorine atoms.3) True - The reaction of ethane with Br2 (bromine) results in the substitution of hydrogen atoms by bromine atoms, producing 1,2-dibromoethane.
