Question

PLEASE ANSWER QUESTION IN 15 MINTUES NOT MORE PLEASE AND THANK YOU. If you do answer the question correctly and post it in the next 15 minutes, NO NEED TO SHOW THE WORK, I JUST WOULD LIKE THE CORRECT ANSWER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

isnt the answer  e)none of theses

since the correct : Structural Isomers

 

Optical isomers are the compounds which has the same number of atoms and bonds, but different type of spatial arrangement of bonds. The compounds as these isomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. 

 


Structural isomers are the constitutional isomers in which two compounds has same molecular formula but different structures. 

 

 

Stereoisomer are the compounds which have same number of atoms and bonds but differs by their spatial arrangement of atoms . Optical isomers are a type of stereo isomers.

 

 

Geometric isomers are the isomers which has same number of atoms and even same structural formula but these compounds differ in the arrangement of bonds. For example : Cis-trans isomers are geometric isomers.

 


Therefore, considering this we can observe that given two molecules have same molecular formula but the two compounds differ in the location of oxygen atom as a structural change. So, given two molecules can be categorised into structural isomers.
