Define Isomers
Two or more molecules that share a chemical formula but differ in some way structurally
Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but differ in their structural arrangement. In other words, isomers are compounds made up of the same number and types of atoms, but these atoms are arranged differently in space. This leads to different physical and chemical properties, such as boiling points, melting points, solubility, and reactivity. There are two main types of isomers: structural isomers and stereoisomers. Structural isomers differ in their arrangement of atoms in their molecules, while stereoisomers have the same connectivity but differ in their spatial orientation. Stereoisomers can further be categorized as either diastereomers (non-mirror-image stereoisomers) or enantiomers (mirror-image stereoisomers).
