Ans. Different compounds. Sol. The first structure is butan-2-ol, CH 3 -CH(OH)-CH 2 CH 3 (C 4 H 10 O, one stereocentre); the second is pentan-3-ol, CH 3 CH 2 -CH(OH)-CH 2 CH 3 (C 5 H 12 O, no stereocentre). The molecular formulas differ, so the two are not isomers of any kind : different compounds.

Ans. Different compounds.

Sol. The first structure is butan-2-ol, CH₃-CH(OH)-CH₂CH₃ (C₄H₁₀O, one stereocentre); the second is pentan-3-ol, CH₃CH₂-CH(OH)-CH₂CH₃ (C₅H₁₂O, no stereocentre). The molecular formulas differ, so the two are not isomers of any kind : different compounds.
