Question

Organic Chemistry problem? I am thinking for the first one is Structures J and K are related as stereoisomers and for the second one I think their related structural isomers? Any help is great.

Which one of the following statements is correct? Structures J and K are related as structural isomers Structures J and K are related as stereoisomers isomers None of the above Br Cl H Br Cl Br Structure L Structure M Structure J Structure K Which one of the following statements is correct? Compounds L and M are related as structural isomers Compounds L and M are related as stereoisomers isomers None of the above

Explanation / Answer

Answer – We know the structural isomers have the same molecular formula but a different structure like different arrangement of the atoms. In the stereoisomers the arrangements of atoms and molecular formula are same.

So the in the structure is J and K are the same molecular formula, but just change in arrangements of atoms, so these both are structural isomers, so first statement is correct.

In the L and M has the same molecular formula and also have the same arrangements of atoms, but there is change in the geometry of the one C atom of the double bonded C-Br, so these are the stereoisomers of each other and second statement is correct.
