Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Type of Isomer

The image shows two molecular structures and two hands. The hands are a clue indicating that the molecules are mirror images of each other, similar to how left and right hands are mirror images but not superimposable.

Step 2: Determine the Specific Isomer Type

Molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers. Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomer where the molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.

Final Answer

The type of isomer shown in the image is enantiomer.
