Answer:
The different structures are shown in the attachment.
I and II - structural isomers
I and III - Structural isomers
I and IV - structural isomers
II and III - structural isomers
II and IV - structural isomers
III and IV - stereoisomers
Explanation:
The knowledge of Isomerism is tested here; there are two types of isomerism ; structural and stereoisomerism.
- Structural Isomers have similar molecular and different double bond positioning, these occurs mostly in ALKENE FAMILY.
- Stereo-isomers have the same molecular formular and similar patterns but differ in their spatial arrangement. trans and cis are typical examples of stereo-isomers.
From the question; Relationship between I and II is that they are structural isomers since they have the same molecular formula, but different bond atom arrangement and infact they are the same compound.
- Relationship between I and III is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formular but differ in the double bond position.
- Relationship between I and IV is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formula but different double bond arrangement.
- Relationship between II and III is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formular but different double bond position
- Relationship between II and IV is that they are also structural isomers with the same molecular formular but different double bond position.
- Relationship between III and IV is that they are stereo-isomers with same molecular formula but different spatial arrangement, hence cis and trans.
