General guidance
Concepts and reason
Structural relationship between the molecules can be identified based on the arrangement of atoms in the given molecules. This relationship can be of different types namely constitutional isomers and stereoisomers. Pairs of compounds are given; relationship between each pair can be identified using the spatial arrangements of atom.
Fundamentals
Isomers are pairs of compounds, which have same empirical formula but differ in their atomic arrangement or its spatial orientation.
1. Constitutional isomers differ in connectivity of atoms in the molecule.
2. Stereoisomers differ in the spatial orientation of atoms in the molecule.
Stereoisomers are of two types namely enantiomers and diastereomers. Enantiomers are pair of compounds, which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Diastereomers are the pair of compounds, which does not have mirror image.
3. Identical molecules are the pair of molecules, which does not have any special relationship with each other.

Step-by-step
Step 1 of 16
Part 1.a
Structural formulas of two compounds are
Chemical formula has found by calculating the number of Carbons and Hydrogens present in the structural formula.
Take care while counting the number of constituents present in the molecule; do not inter change number between the different constituents.
Ex: molecular formula is wrong way of representation.
Compare the two chemical formulas to give relation between them.
Step 2 of 16
Relationship between two chemical formulae:
: Not isomers
Part 1.a
The chemical formula of the given pair of compounds is different. The first compound has chemical formula of C7H14while the second compound has a chemical formula of C8H16 that shows the pair of compounds having different chemical formula. Therefore, they are not isomers; they belong to a) other category.
Take care while writing the chemical formula of the compounds. Indicate the correct number of carbons and hydrogens present.
Ex: is not correct way of representation
Draw the structural formula to give the chemical formula of the compound.

Compare the two chemical formulas to give there lation between them.
Step 4 of 16
The relationship between two chemical formulae:

Example:is the wrong way of representation.
Look for the positions of substituents connected.
Step 5 of 16
The position of substituents in the given pairs of compounds is given below:
The connectivity of substituents is written by determining the position of substituents attached to the cyclohexane ring.
Take care while giving the substitution; do not interchange the positions of the molecules.
Example: instead of 1, 3-substitution do not give 1, 4-substitution
Compare the relationship between the pairs using the position of substituents.
Step 6 of 16
The relationship between the pairs using the position of substituents is:

But in the second compound, the two methyl groups are substituted at 1, 4-position. A pair of compounds with same chemical formula and different connectivity of atoms is known as constitutional isomers. Hence, they are constitutional isomers.
Take care while indicating the position of substituents present in the given molecule; do not give wrong substitution position.

Compare the relationship between the pairs using theposition of substituents.
Step 10 of 16
The relationship between the pairs using theposition of substituents is:
1, 2-substitution and 1, 2-substitution: Stereoisomers
The connectivity of both the compounds is same. In both cases, the two methyl groups are substituted at 1, 2-positions of the cyclobutane ring. Hence they are stereoisomers.

Look for the spatial arrangement of the substituents.
Step 11 of 16
The spatial arrangements of atoms are:
Part 1.c
The stereochemistry or the special orientation of the substituents is different. The first compound has (S, S) stereochemistry and the second compound has (R,S) stereochemistry. A pair of compounds which have same chemical formula and same connectivity but differ only in their spatial orientation is known as stereoisomers. Hence, they are stereoisomers.
Take care while indicating the correct stereochemistry of the atoms.
