Q. 11.52

Question


 Identify the following pairs of structures as structural isomers, cis-trans isomers, or the same molecule:



Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

Part(a) The structures are same molecules.

Part(b) The structures are structural isomers.

1Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We need to classify the pairs of structures as structural isomers, cis-trans  isomers, or the same molecule


2Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

We can clearly see from the structures that they are same molecule as both have same orientation as well as empirical formula.

Hence, the structures are same molecule.

3Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

We need to classify the pairs of structures as structural isomers, cis-trans isomers, or the same molecule


4Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

We can see both structures have different number of substituents and position of double bond is also not same.

Hence the structures are structural isomers.
