Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Each pair from the following structures should be identified as constitutional isomers, stereo isomers or identical.
Concept Introduction:
Isomers are the different molecules which have the same molecular formula but differ in molecular arrangement in the space. There are several groups of isomers.
Stereoisomers are the form of isomers which have different three-dimensional orientations in the space.
Constitutional isomers are the form of isomers which have atoms bonded to each other in different ways.
