Question

What is the structural relationship between the two molecule shown below? 
A) constitutional isomers 
B) enantiomers 
C) diastereomers 
D) conformational isomers 
E) not isomers

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in the way the atoms are connected, indicating that they are constitutional isomers. They are not mirror images of each other (enantiomers), have different configurations at one or more but not all stereocenters (diastereomers), or represent different conformations of the same molecule (conformational isomers).
