Explanation / Answer

Q9) Structure 2 is different from other three.

1,3 and 4 are identical structures represented in diferent ways.

In structure 2 the 3rd and 4 th carbon [Ch2 -CH(CH3)2]are inter changed that makes it different from others.

Thus option b is correct.

10) option b

A pair of enantiomers are the stereoisomers that are NON-SUPERIMPOSABLE MIRROR IMAGES of each other and possess an optical rotation of equal magnitude but with opposite sign.

11)option C

A pair of diasteromers are the stereoisomers that are NOT MIRROR IMAGES of each other.

They possess different optical rotations.

12)option D

The enantiomers react with different speeds with chiral reagents not identical speed.
