Two molecules with identical molecular formulas but that have different structures are called isomers. Fuels such as gasoline are nonpolar and high in energy because they are largely composed of hydrocarbons.

∙ 9y agoThis could be one of two things, depending on if you are referring to substances that are elements, or substances that are compounds:
- Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element. They the same element (the same atoms) that bond together in different ways. For example, dioxygen (O2), ozone (O3), tetraoxygen (O4) and octaoxygen (O8) are allotropes of oxygen.
- Isomers are compounds that share the same molecular formula but have different structural formulas. For example, propanol has the formula C3H8O (or C3H7OH) and occurs as two isomers: propan-1-ol (n-propyl alcohol; I) and propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol; II).
