What type of isomers are the two structures shown in this image?
Cis-trans isomers
Structural isomers
Stereoisomers
Enantiomers
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the structures
Examine the two structures shown in the image. Both structures have the same molecular formula but differ in the connectivity of their atoms.
Step 2: Determine the type of isomerism
Since the structures have the same molecular formula but different connectivity, they are not stereoisomers, enantiomers, or cis-trans isomers. These types of isomers have the same connectivity but differ in spatial arrangement.
Step 3: Classify the isomers
The structures are structural isomers because they have the same molecular formula but different connectivity of atoms.
