Nope.... isomers differ only in their structure not in their molecular formula

Which compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures?
isomers
Do isomers have the same molecular formula?
Yes.
What molecules have the same molecular formula but different structures and properties?
Isomers are compounds that have same molecular formulas but different structures. A familiar example is the case of glucose and fructose. Both have the same formula viz, C6H1206. But they have different structures and hence exhibit different properties.
Why do compounds have same emperical and moleculer formula?
Empirical FormulaAll compounds are formed from different atoms of different elements through chemical bonding. Especially in organic chemistry, there are billions of different compounds which has made up from hydrogen and carbon.As an example let us take ethene and propene, which are two alkenes.The prior has 2 carbon atoms and 4 hydrogen atoms, and the latter has 3 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms.In both of these molecules, the simplest ratio between C:H is 1:2, hence both of these compounds have the empirical formula of CH2.Molecular FormulaThe molecular formula is given by the actual ratio of the atoms which are in the molecule. For example, ethanol and diethyl ether both have the same molecular formula of C2H6O (in the practice we write these with different notations though). Compounds with the same molecular formula are known as isomers. Constitutional isomers, Stereo-isomers and Conformational isomers are three main types of isomers.
What do two isomer sugars have in common?
If they're isomers, they by definition have the same molecular formula.
isomers?
Compounds that have the same atoms (molecular formula) but different in the connectivity between the atoms are constitutional (formerly 'structural') isomers.
Which compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures?
isomers
Do isomers have the same molecular formula?
Yes.
What are molecules with the same molecular formula but different molecular shape?
Isomers
What two sugar isomers have in common?
If they're isomers, they by definition have the same molecular formula.
What is the term for compounds that have the same molecular formula but a different molecular shape?
Isomers.
If isomers of an alkali have the same molecular formula how do they differ?
Isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are?
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are isomers of each other.
Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures?
isomers
Can molecules with molecular formulas c4h10 and c4h10o be isomers of one another Why or why not?
No, because the second formula contains an oxygen atom and the first formula does not. Structural isomers must have the same numbers of all types of atoms.
Are 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone are isomers?
They are metamers but not position isomers
What is the difference between optical and structural isomers?
Structural isomers also called constitutional isomers are different compounds that have same molecular formula but different molecular structure. Structural isomers have same number of each type of atoms but the atoms are connected in a different order in them. Structural isomerism is seen in organic compounds. It can be due to different arrangement of carbon chain, due to different position of functional group on the carbon chain, due to different functional groups that give their family of compounds same molecular formula. Difference in arrangement of atoms is visible if structural formulas are written for compounds having same molecular formula. Like structural isomers, stereoisomers also have same molecular formula. Stereoisomers are not structural isomers. Stereoisomers have their atoms connected in same sequence( same constitution), but they differ in the arrangement of atoms in space. Cis and trans isomers of alkenes are examples of stereoisomers. Carbon chain arrangement, position of functional groups, and everything that could be different in structural isomerism is same here.
