#### Diagram a
This diagram illustrates the molecular structure of a carbon chain labeled from 1 to 4. The structure is viewed along the C2-C3 axis.
- **Atoms Attached:**
- Carbon 2 is bonded to a chlorine atom (Cl) positioned as a solid wedge (indicating a bond projecting out of the plane toward the viewer) and a bromine atom (Br) as a dashed wedge (pointing into the plane away from the viewer).
- Carbon 3 is similarly bonded to a chlorine atom (Cl) positioned as a solid wedge and a bromine atom (Br) as a dashed wedge.
The solid and dashed wedges are used to illustrate stereochemistry, showing the three-dimensional orientation of the chlorine and bromine atoms in the molecule.
#### Diagram b
This diagram shows another view of a carbon chain, labeled from 1 to 5, observed along the C3-C4 axis.
- **Atoms Attached:**
- Carbon 4 is bonded to a chlorine atom (Cl) with straight lines representing bonds in the plane of the page. The other branches connected to the carbon atoms are unlabeled.
Both diagrams convey different perspectives of the molecular structure, vital for understanding stereochemistry and three-dimensional configurations in organic molecules.
