Expert Solution
Analysis

Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.

Given : i) a). constitutional isomers

b). Pentane

To Find: i) a) Definition

b). Constitutional isomer of pentane

Solution : Isomers are those compounds which have same molecular formula but different structures.

Isomers are of two types : Constitutional isomers and stereoisomers.

Stereoisomers are further divided into types that is configurational and conformational isomers.

Configurational isomers are again of two types : Geometric and optical isomers.

Optical isomers are of further two types: enantiomers and diastereomers.
