  • Isomers: Understanding Molecular Formula & Structural Differences
    The term used for molecules that have identical molecular formulas but different arrangements of atoms is isomers.

    There are different types of isomers, including:

    * Structural isomers have different connectivity of atoms.

    * Stereoisomers have the same connectivity but different spatial arrangements of atoms. This includes:

    * Enantiomers which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

    * Diastereomers which are stereoisomers that are not enantiomers.

    Let me know if you want to learn more about any specific type of isomer!
