- Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae.
- Isomerism is the existence of two or more compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulae.
Examples of two isomers of butane
(The 2 molecules have same molecular formulae but different structural formulae) - Isomers have different physical properties because they have different molecular structures.
- However, isomers have the same chemical properties because they belong to the same homologous series.
