## Relationship Between Molecules### Question:What is the relationship between the following molecules?(Shows two cyclohexane molecules each with two substituents. One molecule has two fluorine atoms; one in the equatorial position and one in the axial position. The other molecule has the two fluorine atoms in the equatorial positions).### Answer Choices:- **same compound**- **constitutional isomers**- **stereoisomers** (Highlighted)- **unrelated**- **two of the above**### Explanation:This question is designed to help students understand the different types of isomerism in organic chemistry. Below are the concepts relevant to the choices provided:- **Same compound**: Indicates that the two molecules have the exact same structure and connectivity.- **Constitutional isomers**: Molecules with the same molecular formula but different connectivity of their atoms.- **Stereoisomers**: Molecules with the same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangements of their atoms.- **Unrelated**: Indicates no specific relationship between the molecules.- **Two of the above**: Indicates that more than one of the above relationships might be applicable.In this case, the correct answer is highlighted as **stereoisomers**, demonstrating that these two molecules differ only in their spatial arrangement around the cyclohexane ring.### Diagrams:- **Left Molecule**: A cyclohexane ring with two fluorine atoms, one in the equatorial position and one in the axial position.- **Right Molecule**: A cyclohexane ring with two fluorine atoms, both in the equatorial positions.The equatorial and axial positions refer to the two types of bonding orientations relative to the ring structure in cyclohexane, which lead to different spatial configurations and hence, stereoisomerism.
