Video transcript

Hello Everyone in this video, we're being asked if these two given molecules over here if they're an anti armors or identical molecules so we can see here that for our first molecule if we sort of just rotate it along this bond, the C. H bond. So basically what we're doing here is twisting it. So if we do that, then we have a 180 turn, we can get this exact molecule on the right. So if we do so we can say that these molecules are then identical Again. We're rotating this carbon hydrogen bond 180° and you will get this molecule over to the right and these are definitely identical. And that's going to be my final answer for this problem. Thank you all so much for watching.
