Question
**Instructions:** Label each pair of molecules below as enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, or identical.

**Pair 1:**
- Molecule A:
  - Structure: H₃C-C(OH)(H)-C(H)(OH)-CH₂OH
- Molecule B:
  - Structure: H₃C-C(H)(OH)-C(OH)(H)-CH₂OH

**Pair 2:**
- Molecule A:
  - Structure: CO₂H-C(H)(H)-C(H₃)-CH₂
- Molecule B:
  - Structure: H-C(H)(HO-C(CH₃)₂)-OHC

**Pair 3:**
- Molecule A:
  - Structure: HO₂C-CH₂-C-CO₂H (five-membered ring)
- Molecule B:
  - Structure: HO-CH(CH₂OH)-CO-CH₂ (five-membered ring with aldehyde group)

**Pair 4:**
- Molecule A:
  - Structure: HOCH₂-C(H)(OH)-C(OH)(H)-CHO
- Molecule B:
  - Structure: OHC-C(H)(OH)-C(OH)(H)-CH₂OH

**Pair 5:**
- Molecule A:
  - Structure: Cl-CH-CH(CH₃)-H (Cl and CH₃ on chiral C)
- Molecule B:
  - Structure: CH₃-C(H)(Cl)-CH₂-H

**Pair 6:**
- Molecule A:
  - Structure: Br-CH₂-CH₂-Br (four-membered ring)
- Molecule B:
  - Structure: Br-CH₂-CH₂-Br (four-membered ring)

**Pair 7:**
- Molecule A:
  - Structure: Cl-CH-(CH₃)-CH(Cl)-H (two chiral centers)
- Molecule B:
  - Structure: Cl-CH(CH₃)-C(H)(Cl)-H (two chiral centers) 

**Analysis:**
Check the structures for chirality centers, mirror images, and connectivity. Determine if the pairs are enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror images), diastereomers (stereoisomers that are not mirror images), constitutional isomers (different connectivity), or identical (same structure and configuration).
