Question
**Educational Content on Stereoisomers**

---

**Title: Understanding Stereochemistry through Molecular Structures**

**Text:**

Modify the existing drawings to draw both stereoisomers of this compound.

**Diagrams:**

1. **First Diagram:**
   - The molecular structure shows a carbon chain with two carboxyl groups (COOH) attached at both ends. 
   - A hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to the second carbon from the left.
   - This configuration illustrates one stereoisomer.

2. **Second Diagram:**
   - This structure is similar to the first, with the hydroxyl group (OH) again attached to the second carbon.
   - The orientation of the groups is altered to represent a different stereoisomer.

**Instructions:**

- Students are encouraged to interact with the molecular drawing tool using the "Edit Drawing" button.
- Experiment with altering the bonds and orientations to understand the concept of stereoisomerism in organic chemistry.

**Objective:**

Learners will gain a practical understanding of how molecular orientation affects chemical properties and the concept of stereoisomers.
