Which of the following provides the best explanation for this observation about these elements? A. They are all in the same period B.) They all have a fully occupied valence shell C. They are all electropositive D. They all have p-orbitals E. They are all non-metals

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 D) Molecules that have the same connectivities , but different 3-D arrangements of atoms.

Stereoisomers have the same molecular formula , alongwith the same connectivity of these atoms. They have different 3-Dimensional arrangement of atoms. These are of two types , enantiomers and diastereomers.
