Question

Explain isomerism - chain isomerism and position isomerism .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Isomerism is the phenomenon in which more than one compounds have the same chemical formula but different chemical structures. Chemical compounds that have identical chemical formulae but differ in properties and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule are called isomers.

Explanation:

chain isomers:

it is a type of structural isomer in which two or more compounds have same molecular formula but have different skeleton of carbon chain.

position isomers:

Positional isomers are constitutional isomers that have the same carbon skeleton and the same functional groups but differ from each other in the location of the functional groups on or in the carbon chain.

if hlped plzzz mark as brainliest plzzzz....

Answer 2

Answer:

isomerism: the phenomenon due to which carbon forms compounds with identical molecular formula but different structures called isomerism.

chain isomerism: Chain isomers have the same molecular formula, but the way their carbon atoms are joined together differs from isomer to isomer. Alkane molecules with four or more carbon atoms have chain isomers.

position isomerism: Positional isomers are constitutional isomers that have the same carbon skeleton and the same functional groups but differ from each other in the location of the functional groups on or in the carbon chain.
