SECTION E
37. The compounds which have the same molecular formula but differ from each other in
pkysical or chemical properties are called isomers and this phenomenon is known as
isomerism. Structural isomerism is when isomers have difference in the arrangement of
atoms within the molecule, without any reference to space. We can say that
which have the same molecular formula but different structural formula show compounds
isomerism. Compounds of carbon show this phenomenon as the atoms can be structural
linked together
in fhe form of straight chains, banched chains or even rings.
