Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The pair, cyclohexane and $\text{1-hexene}$ is to be classified either as identical molecules (I), constitutional isomers (C), stereoisomers (S), or none of the above (N).

Concept introduction:

Identical molecules are the molecules which have same molecular formula and are same in structure.

Constitutional isomers are the compounds which have same molecular formula but differ in the connectivity of atoms.

Stereoisomers are the isomers which have same molecular formula but differ in the orientation of atoms or molecules in space.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)
