(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three-dimensional structures of the two stereoisomers formed, specifying the configurations at each asymmetric carbon atom are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Stereoisomers are the compounds in which molecular formula of a compound remains same but positions of different atoms or groups are changed to form new compounds. Stereoisomerism comprises of geometrical and optical isomers. The optical isomer only exist if symmetry is absent in compounds, whereas, the geometrical isomerism relies upon the attachment of different ligand.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relationship between the stereoisomers that are drawn in part (a) is to be stated.
