### Question 1 **Question:** Are the compounds shown below enantiomers, diastereomers, or the same compound? **Diagram:** - The diagram shows two chemical structures. Both structures are of a cyclopentane ring with two hydroxyl (OH) groups attached at different positions. - In the first structure (left), the OH groups are denoted as follows: one OH group is attached to the first carbon atom (denoted by a dashed line indicating a bond going away from the viewer), and the other OH group is attached to the third carbon atom (denoted by a wedged line indicating a bond coming towards the viewer). - In the second structure (right), the OH groups are attached to the same carbon atoms but in reverse positions: one OH group attached to the first carbon atom is shown with a wedged line, and the OH group attached to the third carbon atom is shown with a dashed line. **Options:** - ○ the same compound - ○ diastereomers - ○ enantiomers **Note:** - Moving to another question will save this response. **Diagram Explanation:** The structures in the diagram are stereoisomers of each other. They are mirror images of each other, which is a key characteristic in determining whether they are enantiomers or diastereomers. By looking at the connectivity and the placement of OH groups in a 3D space, it needs to be assessed if they are non-superimposable mirror images (enantiomers) or not. **End of transcription.**
