Question

Which of the following is correct regarding the given two compounds?

• A. Enantiomers
• B. Two orientations of the same compound
• C. Both $A$ and $B$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Two orientations of the same compound

The two molecules represent two orientations of the same compound in different orientations.
When in the first orientation (i) $Cl$ and methyl groups are exchanged and (ii) $H$ and $F$ are exchanged, the second orientation is obtained.
Since there are two orientations, the configuration remains same.

Option B is correct.
