Question
**Isomer Identification Exercise**

Below are three pairs of molecular structures. Each pair needs to be classified according to the relationship between the molecules. Use the letters that apply to each pair from the list provided. Write your answers in the boxes next to each pair.

**Pair 1:**
- Two bicyclic compounds with bromine (Br) and hydroxyl (OH) groups attached.
- Options to consider: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I

**Pair 2:**
- Two cyclic compounds both with hydroxyl (OH) groups attached.
- Options to consider: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I

**Pair 3:**
- Two cyclic compounds containing oxygen (O) in the ring.
- Options to consider: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I

**Options:**
- A: Enantiomers
- B: Diastereomers
- C: Different conformations of the same molecule
- D: Identical conformations of the same molecule
- E: Constitutional isomers
- F: Stereoisomers
- G: Different molecules
- H: Both are chiral
- I: Neither is chiral

**Instructions:**
Evaluate each pair and select all applicable classifications from the list. Consider differences in spatial arrangement, connectivity, and chirality where relevant.

Definitions

Enantiomer : enantiomers are two molecules which are non superimposible mirror images.

Diasteromer : these are stereoisomers which are not mirror images and not superimposible. 

Stereoisomer : compounds with same structural formula but different spacial arrangements of atoms. 

Constitutional isomer : these are structural isomers with same molecular formula but different bonding patterns. 

Chiral compounds : compound which contains asymmetric center and which are non superimposible mirror images of each other.
