**Question 14 of 30****Consider the molecules. Classify the molecules as constitutional isomers, enantiomers, the same compound, or not isomers.**The given molecules are:1. The first molecule has the following structure: - A central carbon (C) atom bonded to four groups: - A hydroxyl group (HO) indicated with a solid wedge. - A hydrogen atom (H) positioned below the plane. - A methyl group (CH2) leading to a hydroxyl group (OH). - An adjacent hydrogen atom (H) on the central carbon atom.2. The second molecule has the following structure: - A central carbon (C) atom bonded similarly to four groups: - A hydroxyl group (HO) indicated with a solid wedge. - A hydrogen atom (H) positioned below the plane (opposite orientation to the first molecule). - A methyl group (CH2) leading to a carbonyl group (C=O). - An adjacent hydrogen atom (H) on the central carbon atom.**The classification options are:**1. Constitutional Isomers2. Not Isomers3. Same Compound4. Enantiomers**Explanation of Options:**- **Constitutional Isomers** refer to molecules with the same molecular formula but different connectivity of atoms within the molecule.- **Not Isomers** means the molecules do not share a significant relationship in structure or composition.- **Same Compound** implies both molecules are identical in both structure and physical properties.- **Enantiomers** are a pair of molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.**Graphical Representation:**The image depicts two molecular structures side by side for comparison, aiding in understanding their spatial arrangement and connectivity for categorization. **Analysis:**- Check the connectivity and arrangements for constitutional isomers.- Compare the spatial orientation of molecules for enantiomers.Lastly, select the most accurate class based on the provided options after detailed molecular comparison.
