### Organic Chemistry - Stereochemistry

#### Question 16 of 22

**Presented by Macmillan Learning**

**Select the choice that best describes the relationship of the pair of compounds. You might find it helpful to make a model of each.**

![Image showing two chemical structures](https://example.com/chemical_structures_image.jpg)

##### The compounds are:

- constitutional isomers
- not isomeric
- the same compound
- enantiomers

---

**Detailed Explanation of Diagrams:**

The provided diagram displays two distinct chemical structures. Both diagrams show molecules with the same connectivity of atoms but a different spatial arrangement:

1. **Left Structure:**
   - A carbon skeleton with a chlorine (Cl) atom on a wedge bond (indicating it is coming out of the plane of the paper) and a hydrogen (H) atom on a dash bond (indicating it is going behind the plane of the paper).

2. **Right Structure:**
   - Similarly, a carbon skeleton with a chlorine (Cl) atom on a dash bond and a hydrogen (H) atom on a wedge bond.

These structures are mirror images of each other, suggesting they are potentially enantiomers.

**Conclusion:**
 
- Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Therefore, the correct answer appears to be:

`✓ enantiomers`
