The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about isomers that can be interconverted through rotation around a single bond, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Isomers**: - Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. They can be classified into different types based on their structural differences. 2. **Types of Isomers**: - The question provides four types of isomers: quantumers, diastereomers, chain isomers, and positional isomers. We need to analyze these types to determine which can be interconverted through rotation around a single bond. 3. **Conformers**: - The isomers that can be interconverted by rotation around a single bond are known as **conformers** (or conformational isomers). These are different spatial arrangements of the same molecule that can be converted into one another by rotation around sigma (σ) bonds. 4. **Energy Requirement**: - The rotation around a single bond requires a small amount of energy, which is typically available at room temperature. This allows the molecule to adopt different conformations easily. 5. **Exclusion of Other Isomers**: - **Diastereomers**: These are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other and cannot be interconverted by rotation around a single bond. - **Chain Isomers**: These involve different arrangements of the carbon skeleton (e.g., straight-chain vs. branched-chain) and do not involve rotation around a single bond. - **Positional Isomers**: These differ in the position of a functional group on the same carbon chain and also do not involve rotation around a single bond. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the isomers which can be interconverted through rotation around a single bond are **conformers**. ### Final Answer: The isomers which can be interconverted through rotation around a single bond are **conformers**.
