  • Isomers: Understanding Molecular Formulas and Structural Differences
    For two compounds to be isomers, they must have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

    This means:

    * Same number of each type of atom: The compounds must contain the same number of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc. atoms.

    * Different arrangement of atoms: The atoms are connected differently, resulting in different spatial arrangements and/or different functional groups.

    Let me know if you'd like some examples of isomers!
