Among covalent and ionic compound which shows isomerism
Answers
Answer:
Covalent compounds show structural isomerism, instead of ionic compounds.
Between covalent compounds and ionic compounds, covalent compounds show isomerism.
• Isomerism is the property of certain covalent compounds to exist in more than one chemical structure, having the same molecular formula.
• Isomerism is exhibited only by organic compounds, formed by covalent bonding between carbon and hydrogen.
• Covalent compounds show isomerism due to the directional nature of the bonds between them.
• Directional nature of a bond means the bond is formed in a particular direction with the atoms having a specific orientation in space.
• Example - Butane (C₄H₁₀) has two isomers, namely n-butane, and 2-methylpropane, both having the molecular formula C₄H₁₀.
