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

A) constitutional isomers
B) enantiomers
C) diastereomers
D) conformational isomers
E) not isomers

Conformational Isomers

Molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in the orientation of their atoms in space due to rotation around single bonds.

Constitutional Isomers

Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the connectivity of their atoms, leading to different physical and chemical properties.

Diastereomers

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other, containing two or more stereocenters.

  • Comprehend the principle of isomerism and distinguish among different categories of isomers.
  • Discern the differences in molecular structure between enantiomers and diastereomers.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
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).
