**Title: Identifying Enantiomers (Optical Isomers)****Question: Which of the pairs of compounds are enantiomers (optical isomers)?****Description:**Below are pairs of chemical structures representing different compounds. Your task is to identify which pairs are enantiomers, also known as optical isomers. Enantiomers are pairs of molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.**Compound Pairs:**1. **First Pair:** - **Left Structure:** - Components: Hydroxyl group (OH), Hydrogen (H), Methyl group (CH₃), and an Ethyl group (CH=CH₂) attached to a central carbon. - Configuration: Use of solid wedge (for H) and dashed wedge (for CH₃) to indicate stereochemistry. - **Right Structure:** - Components: Hydroxyl group (OH), Hydrogen (H), Methyl group (CH₃), and an Ethyl group (CH=CH₂) attached to a central carbon. - Configuration: Use of solid wedge (for CH₃) and dashed wedge (for H) to indicate stereochemistry. 2. **Second Pair:** - **Left Structure:** - Components: Bromine (Br), Methyl group (CH₃), Ethyl group (CH₂CH₃), and Hydrogen (H) attached to a central carbon. - Configuration: Use of solid wedge (for Br) and dashed wedge (for H) to indicate stereochemistry. - **Right Structure:** - Components: Bromine (Br), Methyl group (CH₃), Ethyl group (CH₂CH₃), and Hydrogen (H) attached to a central carbon. - Configuration: Use of solid wedge (for H) and dashed wedge (for Br) to indicate stereochemistry. 3. **Third Pair:** - **Left Structure:** - Components: Methyl group (CH₃), Hydrogen (H), and double-bonded Carbon (C=C) chain. - Configuration: Use of solid wedge (for H) and dashed wedge (for CH₃) to indicate stereochemistry. - **Right Structure:** - Components: Methyl group (CH₃), Hydrogen (H), and double-bonded Carbon (C=C) chain. - ### Classification of Isomers**Instruction:**Classify the following compounds as constitutional isomers, enantiomers, the same compound, or not isomers.**Compounds:**1. **First Compound:** - **Structure:** The first compound has an amine group (NH₂) attached to a chiral center with a hydrogen atom (H), and two methyl groups (CH₃) attached to adjacent carbon atoms in a linear carbon chain.2. **Second Compound:** - **Structure:** The second compound also has an amine group (NH₂) and a hydrogen atom (H) attached to a chiral center, but arranged in a different orientation around the chiral carbon. It shows inverted configurations relative to the first compound.**Question:**The two compounds are:- ( ) same compound- ( ) enantiomers- ( ) constitutional isomers- ( ) not isomers**Explanation:**Enantiomers are molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. To determine if two compounds are enantiomers, you need to check if they have the same connectivity of atoms but with a different three-dimensional orientation around chiral centers.Constitutional isomers (or structural isomers) have the same molecular formula but with different connectivity of atoms in the molecule, resulting in different structures.**Analysis:**The given compounds have the same molecular formula and the same connectivity but exhibit different arrangements around one or more chiral centers. Thus, they are neither the same compound nor constitutional isomers. The different orientations indicate that these structures are enantiomers.**Conclusion:**Based on the analysis, the two compounds are:- ( x ) enantiomers**Diagram Explanation:**The diagrams provided depict two different molecules both containing a chiral center with varying spatial configurations. These configurations represent the two mirror images characteristic of enantiomers.---This content is suitable for inclusion in an educational website section on stereochemistry and the classifications of isomers.
