Vedclass · Answer

(D) The given structures are Newman projections of two different molecules. Structure $1$ is $1-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane$ (or a derivative thereof based on the projection),while structure $2$ has a different connectivity of atoms (a $CH_2Cl$ group attached to the central carbon). Since the connectivity of the atoms is different in the two structures,they are not conformers (which require the same connectivity). They are not enantiomers as they are not mirror images. They are not positional isomers because the fundamental carbon skeleton/connectivity is different. Therefore,they represent different compounds and do not fall into the categories of isomers listed.
