Question

Explain the term structural isomerism with an example.

Answer 1

this is structural isomerism which means the molecular formula is same but its structure is different.

we can draw the structure in different way
as example given above in picture the molecule butane can be drawn in different ways that is isomerism of butane

the structure of carbon chain is different for example.....
the molecular formula is same of a carbon compound
in photo the Bhutan's molecular formula is same i.e, C4H10 but we can draw the carbon chain in different from it is its structural formula

Answer 2

Explanation:

The phenomenon in which compounds having different structural formulae have the same molecular formula is called structural isomerism

Example: Molecular Formulae= C4H10
