Answer: the structures represented are identical

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to determine if the two structures shown represent identical, isomers or unrelated compounds.

The image shows two structures that contain 1 C atom, 1 H atom, 1 Br atom and 1 F atom. Note that although the atoms are represented in different "sides" of the image, their position in the molecule are the same: the H and Br atoms are parallel to the plane in both structures, F atom is "to"the front" of the plane and Cl atom is "in the back" of the plane (considering the perspective drawing - we can image the plane as the paper or screen of computer).

Therefore, we can say that the structures represented are identical.
