A chiral molecule does not overlap its mirror image (they are like our hands).

In order to identify and represent the resonance structures, there are five patterns that need to be recognized: (1) an isolated allylic pair; (2) an allylic positive charge; (3) an isolated pair adjacent to a positive charge; (4) a π bond between two atoms with different electronegativities; (5) π bonds conjugated in a ring.

In the representation, the tail of the arrow is at the origin position of the electrons, and the tip is indicating where they will be in the next structure.

One of the enantiomeric forms of a compound called limonene is primarily responsible for the odor of oranges, and another enantiomer is responsible for the odor of lemons.

Their representation are usually made by partial charges and partial bonds. For this, we use dashed lines and the lowercase delta with the reference charge to represent the partiality of bonds and charges, respectively.

So, with that there is the spreading of loads, wich is called deslocalization. The deslocalization of a positive or negative charge stabilizes a molecule, and that stabilization is also called resonance stabilization.

A synchronized rotation around the carbon-carbon bonds changes a chair conformation to another chair conformation. This interconversion involves an energy barrier of 10.8 kcal mol^-1.

These are formulas that represent the bonds and all other electrons in the valence shell in each atom by dashes and dots, respectively.

The term Isomery was created by Berzelius in 1830. He considered the Greek words (iso = same(s); meres = parts) to give the idea of "same composition".

They found out that the formulas of the two molecules were identical (AgCNO), but the position of the ligands were different.

So an order of evaluation was established so that we know the most important ones. The assessment (described in descending order) are:
1 - those with the highest number of chemical bonds
2 - those that have all atoms with the complete valence layer
3 - those that don't have load separation
4 - and those with negative charge on the most electronegative elements

These isomers are marketed in their enantiomerically pure forms. For example: In the case of L-Dopa, used as an antiparksonian, most side effects, such as granulocytopenia, are due to the D isomer.

On the other hand, as we can imagine, delocalized free electron pairs are those who make new structures possible by changing their position.

When there are identical ligands on the same side, it's a cis isomer. When ligands on the same side are different, it's a trans isomer.

When such atom is present in a Lewis structure, the formal charge must be drawn. To identify a formal charge it is required two discrete tasks:
(1) Determine the appropriate number of valences electrons for an atom.
(2) Determine whether the atom exhibits the appropriate number of electrons.
Different forms of resonance of a chemical species can have atoms with different formal charges.

Bond-line structures are drawn in a zigzag format, where each corner or endpoint represents a carbon atom. Simple bonds are shown with one line, double bonds are shown with two lines and triple bonds are shown with three lines. Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are not shown in this type of structure.
