Structural Isomers

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Structural (constitutional) isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in how atoms are connected. For example, C4H10 can be butane (a straight chain) or isobutane (a branched chain). Structural isomers can have distinct physical and chemical properties, influencing boiling points, reactivity, and applications. Recognizing isomers is key in organic synthesis and material design.
