E)enantiomers

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two structures shown have the same molecular formula (C5H10O) but have different bonding arrangements, making them constitutional isomers. They are not identical molecules, nor are they mirror images of each other, so they are not stereoisomers (which are divided into enantiomers and diastereomers). They also do not have different orientations around single bonds, so they are not conformational isomers. And finally, they do not have chiral centers, so they are not configurational isomers either.
