Question

define isomerism and explain the type of structural isomerism with example​

Answer 1

Answer:

each of two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties.

Explanation:

Chain isomerism is a type of structural isomerism where the isomers have same molecular formula but they differ in the order in which the carbon atoms are bonded to each other.

Position isomerism is a type of structural isomerism where the main carbon skeleton are same but they differ in the position of functional group attached to it.Functional group isomerism is a type of structural isomerism where isomers have same molecular formula but differ in functional group.

Metamerism is a type of structural isomerism where the isomers have same molecular formula but differ due to the different number of carbon atoms or alkyl groups on either side of functional group ( i.e., -O-,-S-, -NTautomerism is a special type of structural isomerism where the isomers stays in dynamic equilibrium with each other by simple proton transfer in an intramolecular fashion.

H-, -C(=O)-).

Answer 2

Answer:

ISOMERISM: The compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formula are referred to as isomers and phenomenon as isomerism.

Examples:

C4H10 (Butane) : CH3---CH2---CH2---CH3

Isobutane : CH3---CH---CH3

                                 ↓

                               CH3
