Explain why A and B are identical compounds, but C and D are different.
(A)
(B) 
(C)
(D) 
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Benzene is aromatic and its π electrons are delocalised, so A and B are only Kekulé resonance structures of one molecule. Cyclooctatetraene is a non-planar tub with localised double bonds, so the isomers with D on a bond (C) and on a C-C bond (D) are different compounds.
