Question

roberto examines two molecular models. he sees that the atoms are the same in each model and are attached in the same order in each model. however, he cannot make the models appear the same without breaking a double bond. what do the models represent? two structural isomers that have the same molecular formula two geometric isomers that have the same molecular formula two organic compounds that have the same structural formula two models of a single organic compound

Explanation:

Geometric isomers have the same atoms and same order of attachment but differ in spatial arrangement around a double - bond. Structural isomers have different atom attachment orders. Since atoms are attached in the same order and a double - bond break is needed to make them the same, they are geometric isomers.

Answer:

two geometric isomers that have the same molecular formula
