i think it is when a molecule can be expressed in several different ways for example: C4H8 could be butane or 2 methyl propane. It would still have the same number of Carbons and Hydrogens but its structure would be different.

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.
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.
How are organic compounds classified if they have with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas?
they are structual isomers. In alenes they will be e or z isomers ( cis trans0
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.
What is the isomer of ethanol?
Yes, ethoxyethane and methoxypropane are isomers. The structure for ethoxyethane is : CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3 The structure for methoxypropane is : CH3-O-CH2-CH2-CH3 The formula is the same, they both have 4 carbons, 10 hydrogens, and 1 oxygen. The only difference is their structure. Therefore, they are indeed isomers.
Three types of isomers?
The three main types of isomers are structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers.
