Isomers have the same chemical formulas, but different structures. They can be drastically different in structure, such as constitutional isomers, which differ in the way that certain groups are linked to a carbon back bone. They can be very subtly different as well, such as stereo isomers, which are almost completely same except for their biological activities and interactions with plane polarized light.

∙ 9y agoThe molecules in isomers have the same chemical formula, but they have different composition of atoms within. Also, isomers are different when it comes to how the atoms are being arranged to form bonds.

What requirement must be met for two compounds to be isomers?
For two compounds to be isomers, they must be composed of exactly the same atoms (that is to say, equal numbers of each element in their formula) but the atoms are arranged differently.

Butane and isobutane are isomers or compounds that have the same chemical fomula but different structual formulas.
Where can you find information about isomers?
Information about isomers can be found in all chemistry text books. Isomers are compounds which have the same molecular layout but have a different structure.

Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures?
isomers
isomers?
Compounds that have the same atoms (molecular formula) but different in the connectivity between the atoms are constitutional (formerly 'structural') isomers.
What are compounds with the same structural formula but different arrangements of atoms in space called?
Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
What is an organic compound with identical molecular formulas that differ in the order the atoms are connected?
Organic compounds that have identical molecular formulas but different structural formulas are called isomers.
What is the number of isomers can be formed for number of chiral compounds?
