Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The similarity in the structural isomers.
Introduction:
Conformational isomers are the isomers that can be interconverted when there is a rotation in the single bonds. These isomers are the form of stereoisomers having same connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangements. For example, gauche and eclipsed are the conformational isomers of one another.
Structural isomers are also known as constitutional isomers having a same chemical formula but different patterns of bonding because they are connected in a different order.
b.

The difference in the structural isomers.
