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.
What else can I help you with?
Why are CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO optical isomers?
CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO have chiral centers, which are carbon atoms bonded to four distinct groups. Their mirror images are non-superimposable. This asymmetry results in optical isomerism, where the molecules exist as enantiomers.
What are compuonds withe the same cheimcial formule but different structure?
Isomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different structures. They can have different physical and chemical properties due to their unique arrangement of atoms. Examples include structural isomers, geometric isomers, and optical isomers.
How optical isomers arise?
Optical isomers, also known as enantiomers, arise due to the presence of a chiral center in a molecule, which results in non-superposable mirror images. Chirality results from the spatial arrangement of different groups around a central atom, leading to distinct left- and right-handed versions of the molecule. This structural difference gives rise to different physical and biological properties between the two enantiomers.
How many part of isomer?
Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements or spatial orientations. There are three main types of isomers: structural isomers (different connectivity), geometric isomers (different spatial arrangements around double bonds), and optical isomers (mirror images that are not superimposable).
What is formula to find optical isomerism?
unsymmetrical atom & chiral carbonoptical isomers=2nmesomers=osymmetrical atom & chiral carbon- 1,3,5,...optical isomers=2n-1mesomers=2n/2-1symmetrical atom & chiral carbon- 2,4,6,...optical isomers=2n-1-2(n-1)/2mesomers=2(n-1)/2
How does one recognize optical isomers?
Optical isomers are isomers of molecules which are non-superimposible. They have a left hand and a right hand and this is how you distinguish between them.
Why are CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO optical isomers?
CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO have chiral centers, which are carbon atoms bonded to four distinct groups. Their mirror images are non-superimposable. This asymmetry results in optical isomerism, where the molecules exist as enantiomers.
What is the difference between optical isomer and optically active isomer?
Optical isomers are those which have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms their optical activity means a tendency to rotate the plane of plane polarized light but some of such molecules have an internal symmetry as meso form of Tartaric acid , this is the optical isomer of Tartaric acid but is optically inactive.
What is the difference between d ascorbic and L ascorbic acid?
l ascorbic acid and d ascorbic acid are optical isomers of each other. Optical isomers have the same physical and chemical properties but bend the plane of polarisation of polarized light in different directions.It is also called ChiralitySee the related link for more info on optical isomers.

Two or more different molecular forms of the same substance?
Isomers are two or more different molecular forms of the same substance where the atoms are arranged differently. They have the same molecular formula but different structural or spatial arrangements, leading to distinct chemical and physical properties. Examples include structural isomers, geometric isomers, and optical isomers.
Same chemical formula but a different structure?
They would be called: ISOMERS.(Def; molecules or molecular compounds that are similar in that they have the same molecular formula, however have different arrangements of the atoms)For example; glucose and fructose
How does isomer exist?
An isomer is a molecule or compound that has the same number of atoms as another but a different structure, different physical and chemical properties. Isomers can exist because in large molecules there are several different ways you can position the same elements to make different structures.
How do optical isomers rotate plane of plane polarised light?
