### Chemical Structure Comparison

The image contains three sets of chemical structures labeled A, B, and C. Each set presents pairs of organic compounds with variations in carbon chain substitutions.

#### A.
- **Left Structure**: Features a double bond between two carbon atoms. One carbon is bonded to a propyl group (H₃CCH₂C) and a hydrogen atom, while the other is bonded to a tert-butyl group (C(CH₃)₃) and another hydrogen.

- **Right Structure**: Similar structure to the left with the same double-bonded carbons. One carbon is bonded to a longer carbon chain (CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃) instead of the propyl group.

#### B.
- **Both Structures**: These are the same as the structures in A but reversed around the double bond, featuring the same propyl and tert-butyl groups in opposite positions from each other.

#### C.
- **Left Structure**: This compound has a methyl group (H₃C) attached to one carbon of the double bond, with a tert-butyl group attached to the other.

- **Right Structure**: The structure mirrors the left one in terms of attachments, maintaining the orientation of a methyl and a tert-butyl group on opposing sides of the double bond.

These diagrams are indicative of structural isomerism, demonstrating how variations in bonding and group placement around double bonds can yield different compounds in organic chemistry.
