Yes, particularly in organic chemistry. Dimethyl ether and ethyl alcohol have the same empirical formula, C2H6O, for example, but very different properties. One major difference between them is that the oxygen atom in ethyl alcohol is directly bonded to a hydrogen atom as well as a carbon atom, whereas in dimethyl ether the oxygen is bonded directly to two carbon atoms and no hydrogen atoms.
