### Problem Set on Molecular Structures and Stability

#### 1) Molecular Relationships
Determine the relationship between the following pairs of molecules. Specify whether they are the same compound, diastereomers, enantiomers, or constitutional isomers.

a) ![Two linear carbon chains with varying lengths](inline)
b) ![Pair of structures with CH3, Br, and OH groups](inline)
c) ![Cyclohexane derivatives with chlorine substituents](inline)
d) ![Molecules with OCH3 and ethyl groups](inline)

#### 2) Electron Movement in Reactions
Illustrate the movement of electrons using curved arrows for the given reaction.

\[ \text{Cyclohexene oxide} + \text{Water} \rightarrow \text{Cyclohexanol} + \text{Hydroxide ion} \]

- **Reactants:** Cyclohexene oxide and water.
- **Products:** Cyclohexanol and hydroxide ion.

#### 3) Degree of Substitution in Alkenes
Identify the degree of substitution for each alkene (Monosubstituted, Di-, Tri-, Tetra-).

a) ![Linear alkene structure](inline)
b) ![Branched alkene structure](inline)
c) ![Straight chain alkene structure](inline)
d) ![Alkene with methyl branch](inline)

#### 4) Alkene Stability
From the given set, determine which alkene is the most stable and which is the least stable.

![Straight and branched alkenes](inline)

#### 5) Electrophile Addition to Alkenes
In Chapter 6, we will learn that electrophiles, such as H⁺, preferentially add to the least substituted carbon atom of an alkene. For each alkene below, identify the least substituted alkene carbon.

a) ![Simple alkene structure](inline)
b) ![Double bond with one branch](inline)
c) ![Alkene with a single methyl group](inline)
d) ![Cyclohexene structure](inline)
