Question
Is the following a diasteromer, constitutional, enantimoer, or the same compound?

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows two line diagrams of organic molecules, each depicting a different stereoisomer of a brominated alkane:
1. **Diagram on the Left:**
- The structure represents a propane molecule with a bromine atom (Br) attached as a substituent.
- The bromine atom is shown with a solid wedge, indicating it is coming out of the plane of the paper (toward the viewer).
2. **Diagram on the Right:**
- This also represents a propane molecule with a bromine atom as a substituent.
- The bromine is depicted with dashed lines, suggesting it is positioned behind the plane of the paper (away from the viewer).
These diagrams illustrate stereochemistry, demonstrating how the spatial arrangement of atoms (in this case, the bromine) affects the configuration of the molecule.
