Question

what is structural isomerism ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Structural isomers are those isomers in which the atoms are completely arranged in a different order with the same molecular formulas. These are the molecules having the same kind of molecular formula with different connectivities depending upon the order they are put together.

Answer 2

Atoms are organised in a different sequence in structural isomerism. Structural isomers are isomers with the same constituent atoms but distinct arrangements.

• Constitutional isomerism and structural isomerism are two terms that describe the same thing.
• In contrast, stereoisomerism has the same atoms in the same sequence and with the same bonds, but they are orientated differently in three-dimensional space.
• The chemical formulae for structural and constitutional isomers are same, but the atoms are organised differently.
• Skeletal isomers, positional isomers, and functional group isomers are the three forms of structural isomers available.
• Stereoisomers have the same chemical formulae and atomic orders as structural isomers, but their three-dimensional configurations are different.
