The correct Answer is:
To determine which pairs of structures do not represent isomers, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Isomers Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas, leading to different physical and chemical properties. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Pair of Structures We will analyze each pair of structures provided in the question to check if they have the same molecular formula. 1. **Pair 1**: Check the molecular formula of both structures. - Count the number of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms. - If both structures have the same molecular formula, they are isomers. 2. **Pair 2**: Repeat the process for the second pair. - Count C, H, and O atoms. - Determine if they share the same molecular formula. 3. **Pair 3**: Continue with the third pair. - Count the atoms again. - Check for a matching molecular formula. 4. **Pair 4**: Finally, analyze the fourth pair. - Count the atoms and check the molecular formula. - If the structures are identical (same connectivity and arrangement), they are not isomers. ### Step 3: Conclusion After analyzing all pairs, we can conclude which pairs do not represent isomers based on the molecular formulas and structural differences. ### Example Analysis - **Pair 1**: C5H6O and C5H6O (same formula, different structures) → Isomers. - **Pair 2**: C5H6O and C5H6O (same formula, different structures) → Isomers. - **Pair 3**: C5H6O and C5H6O (same formula, different structures) → Isomers. - **Pair 4**: C5H6O and C5H6O (same formula, identical structures) → Not isomers. ### Final Answer The pair that does not represent isomers is the fourth pair, as they are identical structures with the same molecular formula. ---
