Concept explainers
a.
To identify:
If the given compounds are structural isomers, cis-trans isomers or enantiomers.
Concept introduction:
Structural isomers are those compounds that have same molecular formula but atoms are connected in a different manner in the structure.
Enantiomers are those compounds which contain atleast one carbon center and their mirror images are nonsuperimposable. These compounds are mirror images of one another.
Cis stereoisomers are those isomers in which two substitutent groups are present on the same side of the double bond in the given molecule. Trans stereoisomers are those isomers in which two substitutent groups are present on the opposite side of the double bond in the given molecule.
