Interpretation:
The representation of constitutional isomers,
Concept introduction:
When isomeric molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in bonding patterns and atomic organization, they are known as constitutional isomers.
cis-trans Isomers are organic molecules that have double bonds. Attachment of two similar groups to the carbon on the same side is called cis-isomer, and if attachment is on a different side, then it is called trans-isomer.
Enantiomers are one of the two molecules that are a mirror image of each other and are non-superimposable.
In resonance structures, the electrons are able to move to help stabilize the molecule, and should also have the same number of electrons.
