∻Solution∻ ‖ 1 ⋮ **Identify the type of isomerism**: The first set of molecules has a six-membered ring with two OH groups and one CH2OH group attached. The difference in orientation of these groups suggests that these molecules are stereoisomers. ‖‖ 2 ⋮ **Analyze the second set of molecules**: The second set of molecules has a six-membered ring with two Br atoms attached. The difference in the orientation of the Br atoms indicates that these molecules are also stereoisomers. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ Both sets of molecules represent stereoisomers. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Stereoisomers ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Stereoisomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space. ⚹◊What is the relationship between the orientation of functional groups on a ring and the isomeric relationship between two molecules?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
