In organic chemistry:
Isomerism is the phenomenon whereby certain compounds, with the same molecular formula, exist in different forms owing to their different organisations of atoms. The concept of isomerism illustrates the fundamental importance of molecular structure and shape in organic chemistry.
For example , dimethyl ether , CH3OCH3CHCH33OCHOCH33 , and ethanol , CH3CH2OHCHCH33CHCH22OHOH , both have the same molecular formula : C2H6OCC22HH66O

Isomers are two molecules with the same molecular formula but differ structurally. Therefore, isomers contain the same number of atoms for each element, but the atomic arrangement differs.
Examples-Methoxyethane and Propanol
Methylacetylene and Allene
