Isomerism

Lesson Progress
0% Complete

Isomer = same molecular formula, different structural/spatial arrangement.

Small molecules can have many isomers, for example:

  • Pentane: 17 atoms, 3 isomers
  • Decane: 32 atoms, 75 isomers

Structural Isomers

Same molecular formula, different structural formulae.

  • Different compounds
  • Different properties
  • Different names
  • Composed of the same atoms
  • Cannot be made identical through rotation around bonds
ChainPositionFunctional
Different arrangement of molecule’s carbon skeleton.Different position of a functional group within a molecule.Different arrangement of atoms –> different functional group.
