Question

For each of the following pairs of compounds, indicate (by CIRCLING) the relationship between the two. Choose the BEST answer.

**a.** The image displays two cyclohexane structures with different substituents. On the left, the cyclohexane structure has a methyl group (CH₃) and a hydrogen atom (H) attached to two different carbon atoms. On the right, the cyclohexane has similar groups positioned differently, with methyl groups and hydrogen arranged oppositely to the structure on the left. Below these structures, four options are provided to describe the relationship between them: - Identical - Enantiomers - Diastereoisomers - Structural isomers **b.** The image shows two Newman projections of ethane derivatives with different substituents. The projection on the left has methyl groups (CH₃) and ethyl groups (Et) attached in a staggered conformation. The projection on the right also has methyl and ethyl groups, but the position of the substituents is rotated around the central carbon-carbon bond. Below these structures, the same four options are given to describe their relationship: - Identical - Enantiomers - Diastereoisomers - Structural isomers

Expert Solution
Step 1

Identical structures form only by rotation.

Enantiomers have non superimposable mirror images.

Diastereomers have same configuration in half of molecule and opposite configuration in other half of molecule.

Structural isomers require bond breaking.
