How many isomers of 2-napthol are generated by moving the OH group around the rings do not count 2-naphthol itself?

=In naphtalene ring, only carbon 1 and carbon 2 can be substituted to give monosubstituted product. So 1-naphhtol and 2-naphthol are the two monosubstituted alcohols (phenols) derived from naphthalene. So 2-naphthol has ONE isomer which is 1-naphthol.=

What are the various subgroups of structural isomers?
Structural Isomers- differ in the covalent arrangement of their atoms Geometric Isomers- differ in spatial arrangement around double bonds Enantiomers- mirror images of each other
How long has californium been around?
The half lives of californium isotopes and isomers are between 45 microseconds to 900 years.
Why do materials have magnetic properties too weak to be detected?
Because the intrinsic magnetic field generated by the spin of the electrons around the nucleus is negligible...
What is the difference between cis- and trans- isomers?
In cis-isomers, the carbon bonds are on the same side, and in the trans-isomers, the carbons are on the opposite side. Or put another way... In cis-isomers, the substituents bound to the C=C are on the same side, and the trans-isomer, the substituents bound to the C=C are on opposite sides.
What are stereo isomers?
plane polarised light is being used. A solution of one enantiomer rotates the plane of polarisation in a clockwise direction. This enantiomer is known as the (+) form. A solution of the other enantiomer rotates the plane of polarisation in an anti-clockwise direction. This enantiomer is known as the (-) form. If the solutions are equally concentrated the amount of rotation caused by the two isomers is exactly the same - but in opposite directions. When optically active substances are made in the lab, they often occur as a 50/50 mixture of the two enantiomers. This is known as a racemic mixture or racemate. It has no effect on plane polarised light.
Does geometric isomers have variations in arrangement around a double bond?
Yes.

Are alpha and beta glucose structural isomers?
no they are not. they are stereoisomers(configurational) Structural isomers. isomers that differ in the arrangement literally. so the difference between the cylic glucose molecule that is a ring and the non ring glucose. these two are structural isomers. if molecule A and B have the same molecular formula but look different and are thus arranged differently they are structural isomers. conformational isomers. these are isomers that differ from each other simply by the rotation around a single bond. if molecule B can be twisted around the single bonds to get molecule A then A and B are conformational isomers. configurational isomers (stereoisomers). if molecules A and B do not fall into the above two categories, then they are stereoisomers. these type of isomers differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms. so if molecule A was the mirror image of molecule B then these two molecules would be a type of stereoisomers called (Enantiomers). for alpha glucose the OH group attached to the anomeric carbon is not the same as teh CH2OH group on the other side of the hemiacetal( on the other side of the ether oxygen.). ie. if the OH is axial down then the CH2OH is equatorial up. and vice versa. the molecule is beta glucose when these two substituents are the same in this aspect. both either equatorial or axial. the difference between axial and equatorial is spatial adn in the arrangement of atoms connected to the carbon ring and solely a difference in this aspect (alpha or beta) means the molecules are stereoisomers.
How would you describe geometric isomers?
Which of the following statements correctly describes geometric isomers? Their atoms and bonds are arranged in different sequences.They have different molecular formulas.They have the same chemical properties.They have variations in arrangement around a double bond.They have an asymmetric carbon that makes them mirror images.
Why are there no geometric isomers in non cyclic compounds containing single bonds?
Because atoms are free to rotate freely around a single bond.
Does static electricity move around an insulator?
Static electricity doesn't move around at all, but it can be generated on an insulator such as balloons.
What shape is generated when rectangle ABCD is rotated around the horizontal line through D and A?
Cylinder
What is the condensed structural formula for C5H12?
The bonds around each carbon atom are arranged tetrahedrally. Assuming that we have pentane and not one of its isomers, this results in a zig-zag chain.
What are the optical isomers of hexan-3-ol?
The 3rd carbon atom in hexan-3-ol is asymmetric so arrange four groups around this carbon atom in two ways the one should be mirror image of other now these are two optical isomers, d-hexan-3-ol and l-hexan-3-ol.
How is blood pressure generated that forces blood to circulate throughout the body?
Blood pressure is generated by the heart. When the heart muscles contract, they create pressure to push blood around the circulatory system.
Is electricity generated by rotating magnets around copper coils AC or DC?
It is AC, alternating current. To create DC the generated power needs to go through a full wave rectifier.
