, Isomers
•
An isomer of a molecu.le is a molecu.le with the same molecu.lar formu.la bu.t a diff
stru.ctu.ral or spatial arrangement of atoms. This variation can lead to a difference i
or chemical properties
•
Stru.ctu.ral isomers are compou.nds with the same molecu.lar formu.la bu.t with
different stru.ctu.ral formu.lae/arrangement of atoms in the molecu.le
•
Stereoisomers have the same molecu.lar AND stru.ctu.ral formu.la, bu.t differ in the
spatial arrangement of atoms in the molecu.le.
